Students will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with the Guest Director and to engage in a question and answer session. This workshop will feature San Francisco-based director, Alice Shikina. Shikina recently finished directing Being on the Outside at the Jon Sims Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Some of her other directing credits include Arial Dorfman's Death and the Maiden (in Hawaii); The Dumb Waiter, Haiku, and Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends (in the Czech Republic); and Spider on the Radio for the 2003 BOA Festival in San Francisco.
