It’s time to level up in your film work. Continue to explore the nuance and subtlety acting for film requires. We will proceed to explore finding naturalism through scene work, but also take a closer look at the business of acting. You will leave with an understanding of what is expected of you on set, a confidence in working on camera, as well having the materials necessary to pursue acting professionally. You must have taken Acting for Film 1 with Kate to be eligible for this class, unless by special permission. Two scholarships will be available to students in exchange for film editing, first come first serve.

Step into the world of musicals where everything is bigger—bigger voices, bigger

moves, bigger stories. In this high-energy class, you’ll work on solos, duets and group songs from hit Broadway shows, sharpen your acting, even throw some moment in there for good measure, and learn how to tell a story through music. Perfect for theatre lovers of all experience levels, this class builds confidence, stage presence, and an understanding of the emotional depth that can be explored when you add music and movement to your repertoire. We will work on individual, and group pieces of different sizes and will culminate in a showcase allowing you to share all that you create along the course of the fall.

Auditioning is the through-line for each individual actor when it comes to working in the industry - we all audition all the time! In this class, actors will learn how to approach auditions not just from the text they are performing; but how to carry themselves in the audition room. Each student will leave with at least one or two monologues to carry into the professional world, and walk away with the confidence and building tools for how to structure a great audition. Students will have the opportunity to work on monologues chosen by the instructor (as well as learning the tools to choose your own), and each class will have a dedicated Q & A session devoted to the business aspects of the professional acting world.
