Acting Classes / Workshops
Fall Semester 2008
Workshop One: Acting On Camera
This class is dedicated to teach young people to merge their own uniqueness into the demands of acting on film and television. The young actor learns about the technicalities of working on camera, how to make a scene real, as well as various audition techniques to make them stand out. In addition, they learn comedy improv and gain a freedom in front of the camera. Thursdays: 5:00PM to 6:30PM
Cost: $375.00
Duration: Ten weeks
NOTE: This class is offered at $275.00 when taken in combination with Technique and Productions on Saturdays.
Workshop Two: Acting Technique
Students learn how to use their own unique qualities to act. Through the basics of the Stanislavski system, the young actor learns about wants/objectives, through-line of action, sense memory, place-work, and past circumstances, as well as improvisation, story-telling and theatre games. Students begin to develop a self-confidence that will stay with them wherever they may go, and have a lot of fun in the process!

Adult Acting Class
Technique and Scene Study Advanced Class
Based on the Stanislavski System and work of Strasberg, Jeff Alan-Lee teaches students to use thier own unique qualities to act. In addition, he teaches students to merge this into the scripted role, and therefore stand out on the set or in the audition room.
Classes are on-going and space is limited. Monday Evenings:
7:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.
Cost: $185.00 / monthly
Acting Technique and Production
Acting Technique and Production: We recommend that all students take acting technique along with the production class. The technique is to help the student to use their own personality and experience and allow that to live on screen or stage and the production class teaches students to merge that into the scripted role. Although, we allow certain students to try just technique, we feel it is better to add production because it gives you a deadline and challenge to meet within the semester.
