On-Camera Acting Boot Camp
Date & Time
Location
Description
Our on-camera acting workshop is designed for beginning and newer actors, plus stage actors looking to make the transition from stage to screen. Each participant will examine relationship, circumstance, and conflict with a scene partner, infusing a neutral text with stakes and intention. Using moment to moment work, we’ll analyze the essential and vital skills of powerful, confident acting in the context of the physical constraints and intimacy of the camera. Practically, we’ll explore on-camera auditions, self-tapes, and also discuss the technical vernacular and responsibilities of being on an actual set. There is a lunch break.
