This course is half acting and half film technique and production. In the first four sessions, students learn important acting tools based in Seven Pillars Acting, and in the last four sessions they apply those tools to a scene that they will film in the studio! Students attending will get an introduction into the craft of an actor and practical know-how on acting for the camera. When students add the Editing Package, they add a polished scene to their acting reel.

This course counts toward advancing the studio's levels. Students who take 2 of these classes, as well as the Beginning Acting Living Truthfully and Reality of Doing classes are eligible to audition for Intermediate.

Seven Pillars Acting by Sonya Cooke is required of all students taking this course. Purchase the book online.

COVID PROCEDURES FOR IN-PERSON CLASS PARTICIPANTS

Effective as of June 15th, for July classes (and a choice few others), students who can show proof of full vaccination (vaccination card dated at least two weeks prior for the 2nd shot) will be allowed to participate unmasked. Students who are not fully vaccinated will be required to remain masked to ensure health safety. We are keeping our social distancing policy and classroom size caps.

For any film shoots at the studio, unvaccinated students will be required to submit a negative Covid test 1-2 days before filming unmasked. We will still be enforcing social distancing. Film shoots will be closed, which means only actors performing and the teacher and filming assistant will be in the studio at a time, so that those acting can be unmasked. Students unable to adhere to these requirements will have to film their scenes masked.

How it will work:
On the first day of class, students are asked to show their complete vaccination card to the instructor. As long as the 2nd shot was at least 2 weeks prior, the student will then be able to participate in the class without masks.

HYBRID CLASSROOMS:
All In-person classes will function in a hybrid manner, which means that at any point a student can opt to join the classroom remotely. This will change and limit the way the student will participate in the classroom, but students will still get to learn and work in the class. Every in-person class will have a Zoom link assigned to it, so should a student need to miss meeting in-person, they can log in remotely and join the class. In the physical classroom, there will be a large screen where remote classmates will be viewable to the group. The teacher, using a laptop on a moving lecturn, will ensure remote participants can clearly hear and see their classmates during class.

PAYMENT DISCLOSURE

As always, there are no returns or transfers. Tuition reserves your spot in class; all classes fill up, so this is the only way to confirm your spot. Tuition is non-refundable nor transferrable, as class is a commitment to yourself, your scene partner, your instructor and the collective.

PAYMENT INSTALLATION POLICY

If an installment is purchased, a Recurring Authorization Payment Form will be part of the in person paperwork we will need completed. If you sign up over the phone, the form will be sent to you. Complete the form and turn it in before class starts. Without the form, you will not be officially registered in the class and will not be allowed to start your training until you have done so. A $1 charge will be made in order to ensure method of payment is valid. The value will be returned back to the card after the payment goes through. The last payment will be deducted July 31st.

By opting for Installment Plans, you are making a commitment to pay them as scheduled regardless of absences or attrition; it is a legally binding contract. If such a commitment cannot be made, we recommend paying for the course in full or not enrolling.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

All health related absences will be excused, with or without a doctors note. Our nonrefundable tuition policy will stand; however, if you are unable to complete the course due to illness, we are willing to transfer tuition to another class in the following semester. If you are concerned about attending class in person, we will offer online attendance (via video call.) *This attendance policy is temporary, going into effect as of Winter 2020 semester. This policy is subject to change.

MAKE-UP CLASS POLICY

Excused absences may be made up by attending another similar class within 3 months of the absence. No other make-up arrangements or discounts will be offered.
