UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Eight-Week Scene Study for Beginners - Saturdays beginning January 24 - March 7, 2009 $200

No matter what the medium, acting principles are the same, and scene study is the place to learn them. This is the Mother Ship, the arena where you work on acting as a craft and art form, developing acting techniques you will be able to use anywhere. Actors are assigned scenes which they rehearse outside of class for presentation in class. Stage plays comprise the primary source material. This workshop also presents a good opportunity to prepare monologues that you will need to use in the industry. At the end of this eight-week course students present their scenes and monologues at our public STUDENT SHOWCASE.

WHAT IS AN AGENT?

An agent is an actor's representative. Once an agent Represents you, you are his or her "client." They will submit you for roles and try to get you seen by casting directors. They will take 10% union - 20 % non-union and print work, of your gross pay once you book a job. They will negotiate your fees and your contracts, and are your greatest professional advocate.Agents represent lots and lots of wonderful actors. They're busy, and they may not even be looking for new clients. Getting any agent is hard enough, so how do you go about getting a great one?
