Winter Classes - January

**Advanced Scene Study - 5 weeks (Limited to 8 actors)
Dates: January 6th - February 3rd 
Time: Mondays 6:30pm - 9:30pm
The cost is $145 - A $50 dollar deposit holds a spot. The balance is due by the second class.
If the class is not full, one time participants are welcome for a $30 fee.
Unless an actor chooses to rework a scene, a new one is selected each week.
We (each actor and I) are looking for scenes that will help them move forward in their process and profession. 
Actors are expected to bring in their work "camera ready". 
All work is filmed. Each actor receives their weekly video files. Time permitting, the work is viewed and discussed.
The requirement for this class is that an actor either has been through my On Camera Acting I and II classes, 
or an actor is comfortable in front of the camera and is proficient in on camera acting and script analysis.

**On Camera Acting II - 7 weeks (Limited to 8 actors)
Dates: January 8th - February 19th
Time: Wednesdays 6:30pm - 9:30pm
The cost is $220 - 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, the "headspace" of the character, rehearsal and auditioning. 
We also take a serious look at "getting there" - There, being the headspace of the character. 
Actors are expected to up the ante, as we get into the hard work of acting.
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 film, reviewed and discussed.

**On Camera Acting I - 7 weeks (Limited to 8 actors).
Dates: January 9th - February 20th
Time: Thursdays 6:30pm - 9:30pm
The cost is $240 - A $50 dollar deposit holds a spot. The balance is due by the second class.
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. 
All work is filmed, reviewed and discussed.
