Great news! We are offering a 6 week Acting Workshop for film & TV! Two hours every week we will get together and rehearse popular TV and Movie scenes. At the end of the 6 weeks we will give each participant a Demo Reel with your best takes.

Acting is a process that can be learned by anyone at any age. In this class, you will learn in an exciting a safe environment. We will focus on the actor’s fundamental tools: body, voice, imagination, playing an action, living truthfully in imaginary circumstances, and working with a partner.
