Summer Camp Classes
"NEXT!" AUDITION SUMMER CAMP
INTENSIVE FOR KIDS AND TEENS
SUMMER CAMP CLASS DESCRIPTIONS Film Acting Audition Technique Theater terminology (intention, motivation, relationship, obstacles, plan of action) is reviewed or introduced through various individual and ensemble exercises. These serve as the foundation for film/TV method exercises dealing with sense memory, focus, subtext, inner life, and moment to moment interaction. Student exercises are hinged to assigned film/TV scripts, to better relate process with result. Creating an environment, cold-reading exercises, inner monologue, and relationship work are explored in detail. Each student works every class. All exercises and scenes are videotaped with playback critiques an essential part of class time and improving audition skills. Commercial Audition Technique To successfully audition for TV commercials students must achieve 2 objectives: please the sponsor by effectively relaying his sales message, and creatively compete against other competent actors of similar type. To this end students will be trained in public speaking techniques (vocal variety, key words, transitions etc.) while encouraged toward a natural, and spontaneous delivery utilizing the actors own unique personality. Students learn to maximize their on-camera time through effective use of focus, point of view, and humor. While following authentic audition scenarios students learn how to handle script reading, cue cards, props, partner work, group improvs, and one-liners. Monologue Audition Technique Monologues are often expected during major film/theatre/agent auditions. Monologues are provided and students learn about character and intention through exercises and games. Business of Acting This one-time section clarifies the business of acting: actor tools (headshots, resumes), representation (agents vs. managers, unions), and marketing and self-promotion basics and conduct at interviews.

Improvisation This daily course puts the fun in fundamentals! Learning improvisation or how to “create on the spot” gives young actors an active understanding of the ‘who, what, when and where’ of acting. While most acting training is based on conflict and opposing objectives, improvisation develops supportive, collaborative actors. In improvisation impulses are accepted and expanded upon, not rejected or stifled. Using the wonderful theater games of Viola Spolin and Keith Johnstone, actors learn to listen, work creatively, and build responsive, fearless physical and imaginative instruments.
