The next Acting Workshops in NYC will be short intensive courses on script analysis and rehearsal techniques. These acting workshops will be the ADULT FALL WORKSHOP SERIES of 12 individual one-night workshops of various subjects during the Fall 2010. These commercial workshops will provide options for beginning and advanced actors to improve their acting skills.
These classes can be taken in any order. Classes run between 3 and 4 hours and students work in every class! No one ever just sits and watches. The goal is to develop a comprehensive set of acting tools to draw upon when approaching a role or a scene. As a result students acquire confidence, self-awareness, a strong creative spirit and professional work ethic. All the traits needed for an acting career.
