For professional performers who desire to return to, or maintain an ongoing relationship with a dynamic and fertile state of learning. The goal: to use the specifics of language, action, subtext, circumstance, and relationships in order to connect with the work at the deepest most personal level. You are encouraged to push boundaries with the aim of building ever more complex characters and situations, allowing and exploring what is powerfully, unexpectedly revealed. Expected rehearsal time outside of class: 6+ hours / week

Held online via Zoom: Continuing film actors with some film experience will work at an advanced level. This is an opportunity for beginning film actors to start  learning the steps needed to prepare to work on a professional film set, and for the working actor with film experience to stretch, renew and risk. We will practice everything you need to own after the director calls, “Action!” Let’s integrate your imagination, voice, body, and acting techniques to allow your most truthful work to be seen by the intimate eye of the camera lens. Let’s find freedom, joy, and presence in the technical world of film. We will practice the art of bringing-it-all- together. We will incorporate self-filming as an integral component of this course. Actors will experience creating work through the practice of filming themselves, in class and at home. Expected rehearsal time outside of class: 3+ hours/week.
