LAB 2003 -
Directors Lab West 2003 was held from May 17-24, 2003, at the
Pasadena Playhouse
and the Boston Court Performing Arts
Complex. The theme for 2003 was "Creators and
Collaborators" and we workshopped, discussed and developed new
ideas for collaboration with other artists. Notable Actors and
Directors participated in these sessions and shared their
experiences. Sessions and guests from the lab included: Sheldon
Epps; Anne Cattaneo; "The Tempest" workshops led by Dakin Matthews
and Lisa Wolpe, Andrew Barnicle, John Sylvain; Kim Weild and
Suzuki/Viewpoints; George Furth, Eddie Levi Lee, Bill Rausch,
Luis Alfaro, Velina Hasu Houston, David Ira Goldstein, Shirley Jo
Finney, Larry Moss, and Randy Dixon. The source texts for 2003
were Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and Thornton Wilder's "Our Town."
