WORKSHOP FORMAT
This practical workshop will cover the nuts and bolts of performing on camera. It will explore the specific expectations of a screen actor. Through practical exercises, participants will be guided through a process to find the meaning and hidden meaning of scenes, how to stage the hidden meaning, and how to change a performance quickly in front of a camera. Exercises will be recorded on a live feed and in real-world conditions and will be critically debriefed during the workshop.
Upon request, you have the option to receive your footage after the session for no extra cost!
