What You'll Learn
Course Info
This advanced 4-week course builds on the foundation established in Levels 1 and 2, with a focused emphasis on specificity in on-camera performance. Students will work with challenging contemporary scenes, sharpening their ability to make clear, intentional choices within the frame. The course places particular attention on subtlety, emotional authenticity, and how nuanced adjustments read on camera. In the final session, each scene will be filmed in close-up, allowing students to apply the techniques developed throughout the course. Footage will be provided at the end for personal review and continued growth.
Schedule: Tuesday evenings 7:00pm – 10:30pm
