About Terri Andrews Terri Andrews is the producer and principal director for TADA! Events, a St. John’s production and events planning company that has produced several of the City’s largest musical theatre shows (Chicago, CATs, Cabaret, Rocky Horror, Gypsy) and planned corporate and convention events since 2001. She has directed The Divas Shows since their inception, and has co-produced since 2005. She is also co-producer and technical director of the Newfoundland Screech Comedy Festival (St. John’s Comedy Festival). Terri has directed and performed in theatrical productions, taught workshops and adjudicated theatre festivals on both coasts of the country. She is a professional stage & screen make-up artist and has worked on many local theatre and film sets in that capacity. WorkShop Ever watch a group onstage and realize that one or two just stand out and grab your attention? We know they have “it”, even if we don’t really know what “it” is. Stage presence is defined by more than technical capability or great costumes. The best dancer without the right character interpretation isn’t the one the audience watches. The greatest singer who can’t physically interpret the song isn’t the one the audience wants to hear. And the most accomplished actor who doesn’t carry the character through into the movement is just a good storyteller. Actors, singers, dancers, acrobats – we’re all trying to present a character and tell a story. This workshop will help participants in their physical interpretation of their character, whether on the stage or in the air. Then, using the basics learned, participants will get to work their skills in interpreting characters from Alice In Wonderland! These fantastical characters are loads of fun to develop and play with. Johnny Depp had to start somewhere.
