A journey through scene study and audition prep. This 3 week course explores the chaos and creativity of screen acting through deep character work, script analysis, screen acting technique, touching on the work of Meisner, Adler & Stanislavski. Throughout the sessions the camera will be rolling. This exposure primes you to the experience of what it is to be filmed, using the playback function to learn from others.

With tips on self-taping, approach & networking, you will develop the art of leaving an impression.

And we're not neglecting the spirit in this hustle – our body is our instrument. Working on self-care and mindfulness, with practices on staying grounded & connecting day to day AND in high pressure audition situations.

You'll exit with your filmed scene, and the opportunity to audition before a panel of invited industry guests followed by a Q&A.

Need future backup? You’ll have access to email support and a community of actors in the area to connect with. And as graduates of this course, you will have invitation to future closed networking Q&A events.
