Acting is informed, creative play.Acting takes discipline, concentration, the ability and willingness to take risks, a thick skin and a strong imagination. This class will not only cover the foundation of acting, but imagination exercises that will allow you to create the world of the character without the need for a set or costume.
The joy of acting is the cornerstone of my process.Join me for thrilling imagination exercises, learn expert script analysis, build complex characters, get regular career guidance, meet special guests from the film, television, and theater world, and become the actor you dream of being.This is not a class for beginners to learn the craft but for those who have professional experience and prior training. Beginners are welcome to audit (online only).
Special guests include working professional actors, casting directors, directors, producers, and writers. One will join a class each month to give insight into the entertainment industry and feedback on your work. In no way will this be an audition, but an opportunity to get a fresh perspective on your place in the industry.Please apply by emailing your resume, short bio, reel, and headshot using the button below. Space is limited.
