Spring On Camera Classes

Hello All. This is my next round of classes. For the OC I classes, I realize that filling up a daytime class might be bit slower. I know the evening class will fill up right away. So, if you can manage either, I encourage you to sign up for the daytime class. I will also be offering an Advanced Scene Study class this round, for which I will be sending out a separate notice.

I wanted to also say that since my OC I and II classes are progressive (one class builds on another) I would prefer that actors do not miss any classes. So, I would prefer to fill the class with actors who can commit to being there. 

One more thing to note this round is that we will be taking a week off in line with PPS spring break the last week of March. So the time period will actually be 8 weeks.

Best.

**On Camera Acting I - 7 weeks (Limited to 10 actors).
Dates: March 7th - April 25th (March 28th off)
Time: Tuesdays 10am - 1pm
The cost is $275 (sliding scale down to $225 for those on a tight budget) 
A $100 dollar deposit holds a spot. Refunded only up to 48 hours before the first class. 
The balance ($175) is due by the second class, after which there is no refund.
Mailing address for check (preferred) payments, below. 
For Paypal, ask for my account address. Choose Friends or Family to avoid surcharge
Square (3% surcharge) payments are also accepted.

Beginning with improv and easing into scripted scene work, this is a relaxed,
fun approach to getting comfortable in front of the camera. 
The objective of the class is to establish the foundations of a process that emphasizes
simply listening and talking - being "in your skin" - as opposed to in your head. 
This is a great transitional class for theatre actors and an excellent foundational class for new actors.
All work is filmed, reviewed and discussed - time permitting.

FULL! On Camera Acting II - 7 weeks (Limited to 10 actors)
Dates: March 8th - April 26th (March 29th off)
Time: Wednesdays 6:30 - 9:30pm
The cost is $275 (sliding scale down to $225 for those in need / on a tight budget)

Moving beyond "being in your skin" and finding simplicity on camera, here the focus is on script analysis, 
the "headspace" of the character, rehearsal process and auditioning. Actors are expected to up the ante, 
as we get into the hard work of acting. Know that this one will require more of your time outside of class. 
The 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 and (time permitting) viewed and discussed.

Thursday the 16th Actorcise

Hey All.

There will be an Actorcise this Thursday the 16th of February from 11am to 1pm.

As always, don't just show up. 
Please email me if you are planning on coming, and wait for confirmation: acted@att.net
I will send you details the night before. Make sure you take my phone number for last minute communication.

I wanna allow more time for each actor, so I have limited Actorcise to 10 people. 
Therefore, I when you sign up, I need you to be committed to showing up. If you are not sure you can make it, please hold off signing up until you are. I will keep a waiting list for last minute cancelations. But if you have signed up and have to drop out last minute, if your spot is not filled by someone on the waiting list, you are on the honor system for payment. You can then send a check or pay via Paypal or Venmo. However, I will certainly try my best to fill your spot :-)

Cheers. Ted 323-819-9622
