The Class Breakdown

Week 1 – The Journey & Discovery

A couple of days before the start of each week one class, a scene and its accompanying script will be sent to you via e-mail (PLEASE NOTE: Material may contain strong language and mature themes). The first class is devoted to scene study and rehearsal. Here we focus on establishing character as well as uncovering what is not on the written page.

Week 2 & 3 – Shooting the Scene

Weeks 2 and 3 -Each scene will be shot with a focus on playing for the camera, i. e. finding eye-lines/marks, adjusting performance the match frame size, cheating for the camera, etc… Our intent is to provide as realistic a setting as possible so when you walk onto an actual set (if you have not already) you will be familiar with what you are exposed to in terms of the filming process and what is expected from you – the actor.

Week 4 – Popcorn Night

We meet at the studio and review and critique the scene work for the month with a focus on what to work on for the future (popcorn is optional).
