ACTING FOR CAMERA - Applications Closing Soon (Term 4, 2015)
8 Week Program I Thursdays I 6:30pm - 9:30pm I Commencing October 22nd, 2015
The art of Acting for Camera is considered the very heartbeat of our company as we continue to train and launch actors into the television industry - globally. We are proud to say we have pioneered training in this field since we opened our doors nearly 18 years ago.
Still our most popular program, the Thursday Night OPEN Program is conducted by Craig McMahon (CEO & founder of McMahon Management and Film & Television Studio International), and actor/trainer Damien Bodie (Winners & Losers).
Throughout the 8 week program, you will be working at a rapid pace, breaking down, analysing and performing current film and television scripts. Your work will be recorded at the end of each evening and playback will be offered, along with constructive criticism and discussion. The aim of this program is to train actors to think quickly on your feet and to trust your impulses/initial instincts. This program encourages actors to deliver meaningful and truthful performances in a high pressure (but supportive) environment.
*N.B. This is the only class that Craig teaches (nationally) on a casual basis so places are strictly limited.
