A WEEKLY IN PERSON SCREEN ACTING CLASS
A fresh approach to actor training and practice. Exploring the craft of screen acting, we will be working with a host of techniques through current film & TV scripts. Working in monthly blocks, you will work on a new scene each month. Our mission is creating a safe space to explore your work with industry professionals. This class is an on camera scene study with a focus on finding your centre and getting out of your own way. There is no hierarchy, no acting gurus, artists are instead encouraged to feed into the sessions and support one another. This is an acting practice, and acting community, and acting opportunity. Now taking applications.
