Join Scene Study: From Table Read To Performance!

Take a deep dive into two characters in two scenes, from script analysis to a full footing and guest pro giving final feedback.

Focus on process and wonderful failures/lessons, stretching outside of your comfort zone, overcoming rust and de-emphasis on results.

Work on two scenes/two scene partners, luxuriously and slowly over 3-4 weeks.

Class One: Bring a monologue, song or dance to introduce and celebrate yourself. Movement and vocal warm-ups. Introductions and scenes assigned.

Class Two: Table reads and text analysis without self-tape result speed. The event, your roles function, genre, the writer and listening.

Class Three: Warm-up and first footings, exploring the character in body and space, personalization and being present.

Class Four: Guest Pro if available. Fully memorized. Staged with props and costume.

Class Five to Eight: Repeat with a new scene/partner.

Note: This is not a beginner’s course, actors need to rehearse outside of the class to prepare scenes. This is for actors who want to have fun and explore without judgment. Actors are encouraged to stretch with characters they may not get cast as and re-examine or revive their process with support you deserve.

Join the SAG-AFTRA LA Conservatory for Nail the Agent Interview!

You spend so much time and energy landing that coveted agent/manager meeting by writing your pitch, emailing agents, researching their IMDb, asking for referrals, etc. Once you're IN the room, is not the time to fall prey to the wing-it mentality.

You get to navigate the interview and speak intelligently and vulnerably about who you are, what you want and where you want to go.

In this interactive workshop you'll learn:

• Five steps to prepare for every interview and kill it every time!
• How to answer the question  - Tell Me About Yourself? - that fully represents who you are.
• The mistake most actors make in every interview that is costing you opportunities.
• What agents are REALLY looking for.
• The one marketing tool that separates you from the pack…and it’s not your headshot or reel.

There is an art to the interview and this course is going to teach you how to do it.

Please note: You must use a Zoom account with the same email address that was submitted with the RSVP. You will receive your unique, non-transferrable Zoom link the day before the event from the SAG-AFTRA L.A. Local Conservatory.
