The cost is $145 - A $50 dollar deposit holds a spot. The balance is due by the second class.

Moving beyond "being in your skin" and finding simplicity on camera, 
here the focus is on script analysis, character development, rehearsal and auditioning. 
We take a serious look at getting "there" - where that is and how to get there.
This class is especially tailored to actors who have already been through the
Foundational I class, though that is not a requirement. 
All work is filmed, viewed and discussed.

All classes will be held at: 305 SE 3rd Ave. #404
