The 12-Week Evening Workshop is the ideal program for individuals who must balance acting with other responsibilities.
Designed for students of all levels, the course meets three evenings per week from 7:00-9:30pm in New York City and 7:15 - 9:45pm in Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi Film School.
FORMAT
The Evening Workshop gives students the instruction they need while allowing them to work during the day through the work week. All classes are geared towards providing the building blocks needed to act for film.Classes emphasize the theory and practice of the basic elements of the acting craft, using Stanislavsky's System and scene work as starting points. In addition to scene work, students participate in classes aimed specifically at training the actor for the requirements of acting on a film set.
Classes encourage students to break down physical and internal inhibitions, and help each student find the most effective personal sources for the creation of truth-ful characters. Students should be prepared to work in non-traditional acting classes that emphasize the construction and control of character given the unique pressures of a film or television shoot. Video cameras may be used during classes.
Throughout the Evening Workshop, students meet with instructors for one-on-one consultation. Upon the successful completion of the course, students take home a master tape of all their projects and receive a New York Film Academy diploma.
STUDENTS
The Evening Workshop draws together an eclectic group of people from young working professionals to international students to people who are well-established in busy careers. Students must be highly motivated in order to balance the workshop requirements with their daytime commitments.Students who have completed our Twelve-Week Evening Acting for film program may continue their studies with us in an advanced program. They may also apply to our One-Year Acting Program. Please contact us for more information.
CLASSES
Acting For Film and TelevisionCentral to the workshop, this class teaches students how to overcome the technical and stylistic demands made on actors working in films and television.
What do actors do when they are thrown into the maelstrom of the set? How must performances be adjusted when standing a few feet from the camera and crew instead of a theater audience? How do actors move to precise marks and deliver the same line take after take and make it real each time?
Relaxation methods and scene analysis will be taught as they apply to film and television acting. Scenes from film scripts are analyzed for blocking.
The class covers how actors must maintain a consistent emotional through-line from scene to scene, even while shooting out of sequence. Other topics addressed include imaginary eye lines, the actor's business in the film world, and understanding the responsibilities and challenges of the crew on set. Exercises on video help students develop techniques for rehearsing, reading, auditioning, and creating a meaningful performance before the camera.
Scene Study
Students work with original and published material through an application of various acting methods. Scenes are extensively rehearsed and performed. Students receive critiques and adjustments from the instructor and fellow students.
