Actorcise Sunday

There will be a Sunday afternoon, May 27th, at 1:30pm Actorcise at Rooney-Totman Studio - hosted by Kate Mentesana.

As always, don't just show up. If we don't get enough interest, we will cancel.
Please email Kate (mentesanak@gmail.com) if you are planning on coming, and wait for confirmation Saturday evening.
Make sure you take Kate's phone number for last minute communication (provided after you sign up).

I wanna allow time for each actor, so I have limited Actorcise to 10 people. 
Therefore, 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 sure. I
Kate 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. However, I will certainly try my best to fill your spot ;-)

Come workout!

Upcoming Summer Classes

Here is my next round of classes including the Saturday OC I class taught by Brooke Totman.

**On Camera Acting I (with Ted Rooney)
7 week course
Limited to 12 Actors
Dates: June 5th - July 17th
Time: Tuesdays 6:30pm - 9:30pm
The total cost is $345.

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.

A 100 dollar deposit holds a spot. Refunded only up to 48 hours before the first class. 
The balance ($245) is due by the second class, after which there is no refund.
Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo (free) via: 323-819-9622.
Paypal address: twrooney@pacbell.net (Choose Friends or Family to avoid surcharge).
Credit Card Square payments (add 3% surcharge) are also accepted.

**On Camera Acting II (With Ted)
Limited to 10 actors
Dates: June 13th - July 18th
Time: Wednesdays 6:30 - 9:30pm
The total cost is $245

The class is especially tailored to actors who have already been through the OC I class.
Though this is not a requirement, actors need to have the fundamental abilities that OC I covers.
If I don’t know an actors work, I will need to see something on tape or in person.

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

A 100 dollar deposit holds a spot. The balance ($145) is due by the second class.
Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo (free) via: 323-819-9622.
Paypal address: twrooney@pacbell.net (Choose Friends or Family to avoid surcharge).
Credit Card Square payments (add 3% surcharge) are also accepted.
