STAY Connected!

This 2-part, in-person series will focus on Acting with Ease, a thorough exploration of performing using improvisation, relaxation, connectivity, and action based tactics.  Take away the "supposed to be" hinders of a performance and leave it open to genuine feelings and exploration that is at the root of "play".  Details and registration at link in bio!

Only two spots left!  Self-tape auditions require an actor to be more than just an actor. They also have to be a camera operator, lighting person, computer technician, & editor. There are frequently many requirements casting directors demand that seem complex and time consuming.  This 2-part class will demystify the process and clarify the technical aspects needed. It will also help in prep for an audition where the actor might not have another actor or director present.  Sign up today at the link in our bio!
THIS SATURDAY!  Get prepared for this year's annual Unified Shakespeare & Classical Auditions.  This workshop will help you to bring your monologue alive and enjoy more creative freedom in performing classical material. The work will include individualized attention on each actor's audition, with a focus on finding the connection to (and through) the material while allowing the classical language to enrich the acting process. When relevant, we will explore the cultural context of a piece in order to enhance understanding and more fully engage with the material in the present moment.  This workshop will give you the chance to get coached on one (or more) of your audition pieces so that you can submit an audition you feel great about - and enjoy yourself while doing it!  Register at the link in our bio!
