This class focuses on teaching the creative and technical skills needed to excel in
on-camera acting. Beginning by exploring character, relationship and conflict, this class will then focus on identifying the parameters of film & TV scripts of the last five years. Students will learn to identify the primary function of their character within that structure, and to imagine, create, and make playful choices that foster the story being told.
Students will develop the basic acting techniques needed to audition and perform in film & television, and they will acquire the technical skills to direct and edit their own work. Students will gain experience producing professional self-tapes that reflect current industry standards, understand how to create a full story in an audition of any size, and become experienced in reading both dramatic and comedic TV pilots with a critical eye.
