ACTING for TELEVISION - Experience the Shoot
“The Production Workshop”

DATES: TBA
VENUE: TBA

A 5-day workshop in which you can explore playing a character within the context of a 50 minute screen play.

10 actors each with 10 scenes. Select the character you wish to play. The scenes vary from solos to two-handers, with some group scenes included too. Create the detailed elements of your performance while your character travels through a story AND THEN SHOOT IT ON A SCHEDULE SIMILAR TO THAT OF A PROFESSIONAL TELEVISON PRODUCTION.

Shot on mini-dv the workshop will be simply edited for viewing.

The story? Ten actors wait for their acting teacher to arrive. Why is she late? What will happen to their impending production? Will this change their lives? Do they really want to be actors?
