New class starts Feb. 19th 2024

Actors must have showreels to present themselves to agents, casting people, and directors. This class is an opportunity to begin to collect some footage, update, or just add cuts to your reel with select, contemporary scene work.

The class is designed to hit scene work rehearsals hard, and then get it on film for the possibility of adding to your actors reel.

Classes will review essential camera-technique concepts, then leap briskly into camera exercises designed to get you familiar with the technical challenges of on-camera performance.  Most importantly, each session will lead you to relentlessly personalize every working moment of camera time. To be precise, well read, and very, very relaxed, shot by shot – that is the goal. Actors will be assigned monologues and scenes in advance, and then structured, improvisations that ask the actor to work on impulse, instinct.

Each and every class all actors will work on camera. Each actor will film two full monologues and at least two scripted scenes during our sessions.

Your digital footage will be transferred to you after each and every class.

In this class actors should have some background in technique/training.
