How to Become An Actor

ACTING INTENSIVE

For Young Adults (16+)

This workshop is for serious young actors with stage and/or film experience. We'll be working with short but deep material, experimenting on camera. Our aim will be to strengthen focus and concentration; to improve and deepen emotional access; to push ourselves to take greater creative risks and make more imaginative choices. This workshop will be somewhat project-oriented: we want to shoot enough high quality footage to produce two avant-garde shorts and to provide sample clips for participants.

December 29 -> 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM/December 30 -> 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Actors may attend either or both sessions. Each 4-hour class will feature enhanced work on voice, speech, relaxation, character development and script analysis.
