SEPTEMBER 30 2024. 5PM - 10PM. WITH INSTRUCTOR RICARDO APONTE.
Ages 16+. 12 students. $225.
Shake them bones! We live life in front of others not in our minds but in our bodies. Some actors have been frightened into doing little to nothing below the neck when acting for fear of “overdoing” or pushing. On stage and in wider shots on camera, comfort in one’s body is essential and will ensure that the characters you create are grounded, authentic, and fascinating to watch.

OCTOBER 16, 2024. 11AM - 4PM. WITH INSTRUCTOR MARK KENDALL.
Ages 16+. 12 students. $225.
Often, actors who can keep a story going and “play” in the audition room, rehearsal hall, or on set are standouts to directors and casting. This workshop will explore the foundations of improv comedy: listening, storytelling, and collaboration through fun and engaging group exercises. These exercises will introduce tools that workshop attendees can use to make their performances more inventive and engaging. The workshop will also focus on using physicality to inform and develop your own individual comedic POV.

A VISIT TO CAMPUS FROM THRIVE PROS!
Is graduation from a university theatre department imminent (or recent) with the real world of the industry looming large? In this workshop, young actors will work with accomplished pros to navigate the “what do I do now?” bridge by learning best practices for crafting promotional materials (headshots, resume, reel), joining casting sites, obtaining an agent, joining a union (or not), networking, staying physically and mentally healthy, remaining inspired, and much more!
