[Candrama] Say It Loud: A Roundtable discussion on Accent and Language Training for Racialized Actors

[Marlis E Schweitzer]

Dear CanDrama colleagues,

The Department of Theatre at York University's School of Arts, Media, Performance and Design is hosting a Roundtable discussion on Accent and Language Training for Racialized Actors on Monday, February 7th at 7pm EST.

Join the conversation as 4 prominent accent/language coaches of colour for Theatre, Film and TV discuss inclusion in accent training and coaching for IBPOC actors: Lisa Cromarty, Michelle Lopez-Rios, Joy Lanceta Coronel, and Alicia Richardson. Hosted by York faculty member Eric Armstrong, topics for discussion will include strategies to better serve actors-in-training from Indigenous, Black, Asian, Latinx, and other communities. How do we decolonize accent training and prepare students to tackle languages they may not know? Tune in as our panelists discuss the wisdom and tools they've gained along the way.

WHAT: Say It Loud: A Roundtable discussion on Accent and Language Training for Racialized Actors
WHEN: Monday, February 7 at 7PM
WHERE: Zoom
