UO iVIIVOUllIC dO cl coyote." There were as many ways to say the four lines as there were pairs of students rehearsing them. Learning to develop their own interpretation of these simple lines (wasn't all the group of selected sixth, seventh and eighth-graders learned last Wednesday at Shallotte Middle UVilWk Before pairing off?usually boyIgiri, buj-giri?to deliver die lines, they listened eagerly last Wednesday morning as workshop instructor Mary Ruth advised, "A big part of learning about theater is learning to I be a good audience. "Listen carefully and try" to come up with some 'informed criticism' to I give later." The students?and others like them I across the county?got a taste of the theater from both sides of the stage last week during a three-day residency by Transactors. The touring theater group from the Carrboro Art School presented performances of a play, "The Sisters Mcintosh," at schools and library branches, then met with students in drama workshops. While the Transactors themselves nlanr/vJ 1 1 1 vicoicu viic oiagv auu pacivcu away the wares of their trade, Mary Ituth, general director of the arts Icentcr/school, put students through their paces in the Shallotte Middle School multipurpose room, helping them learn to cope with everything from on-stage giggles to getting upstaged. The idea of tlie combined performances and workshops was t^ stimulate more student interest and E involvement in drama, said Brunswick County Community Schools Program Coordinator Linden noauicws-oOOue. nuS iu5 uc?ii a top P priority for the school arts program for the past several years, she said. The Transactors appeared under the auspices of the "Arts on the Move" program new to the public sqhools this year.

He and the other teachers watched closely, looking for talent to tap for the school's spring production of "Snow White.'' Efforts were concentrated in four basic areas: voice, breathing, tempo and characterization. She stressed the importance of good physical conditioning, breathing exercises and learning to project one's voice to an audience. To one soft-spoken performer she suggested "cheating" a little to Improve projection, turning the body?and therefore the voice?outward toward the audience while speaking to someone on the stage. She suggested they practice speaking loud, that to project his voice an actor must sound to himself as though he's shouting: "it seems very unnatural, but you get used to it" And she helped Eric Hill prevent uoffino nrkctaopH a tprorvl tirr?#? Kv hi? partner, Dee Dee Cause, who stole the scene and left Eric basically unnoticed. "When you have a bombshell like that on stage," Ruth told him, "you have to fight back. You were being upstaged."
