3 Part Single Cam Intensive w/ Kim Rhodes!

This multi-lesson class is for the student who wishes to experience the acting process from  beginning to culmination. Scenes will be assigned and remain the same in all three sessions.  Memorization is not required, but you may find it is helpful. 

Part I – The Audition and Making Choices  Friday, April 8th 6:30-8:30 PM

There are an abundance of decisions to be made in order to have a successful audition;  everything from personal presentation and what assets to showcase to making clear and  focused character choices that serve the scene but still are uniquely you. The first class will  outline what to expect with an in-person audition and provide advice that will also apply to self tapes. 

Part II – The Callback and Incorporating Notes  Saturday, April 9th 1:00-3:00

One of the hardest tasks an actor faces is maintaining a consistent truth while remaining  flexible enough to accommodate direction and what other actors offer. In this class, you will be  working with a scene partner to find ease and comfort no matter what you’re handed to work  with and the ability to make new choices while still keeping a consistent character. We will  discuss “chemistry” and creating relationships with those we work with, both in front of the  camera and behind it. 

Part III – On Set  Sunday, April 10th 10:00-12:30

Very little of acting work is actually acting. This class is focused on the nuts and bolts of getting  around on a set. We include blocking, finding your light, creating believable performances  when your scene partner is suddenly a little blue piece of tape, etc. We will discuss how to  keep a reading fresh when you have to say it twenty-five times, how a master is shot different  from an extreme closeup and what can we do to make sure we take advantage of each  opportunity. In this class, I hope to fast-track you through some of the things I had to learn by  making mistakes. (Don’t put a huge bite of pizza in your mouth and start chewing. Trust me on  this.)
