​

          Teens from all over the world now can join us and zoom In this fun and upbeat acting class/self-tape workshop, there's the option to work on both theatrical and on-camera development as well as confidence with memorization and performance. Working on the art of the self-tape, how to stand out in your slate, using the frame, making unique and strong choices, and understanding how those choices read differently on camera than they might on stage.

 

          This is an exciting opportunity to dig into building confidence as an actor in a safe and supportive environment and getting more comfortable with self-tapping which is the way casting is most often seeing talent during these times for projects on stage and on screen.
