in person

with John Markland

August 7th

Be the actor who shocks and surprises with original unconventional takes on characters. Be the actor who is unpredictable and known for bringing more than what is on the page. Directors, producers, and casting directors are always hoping to catch the next rising star. It separates you from the pack and places you in the memory banks of those you want to collaborate with. How do we develop this muscle?

You will be asked to step into the shoes of iconic characters from the 1990’s. We will then import these characters into the great plays of the decade. Become Henry Hill from Goodfellas, May from The Age of Innocence, Annie Wilkes from Misery, Sling Blade, Trinity from Matrix, Bugsy, Malcolm X, Mona from My Cousin Vinny, Christy Brown from My Left Foot, Oscar Schindler, Rose or Jack from Titanic, Mia from Pulp Fiction, Verbal Kint from The Usual Suspects, Sera from Leaving Las Vegas, or Marge from Fargo.

You will then embody these characters in award winning plays from the same decade. Plays such as Angels in America, Lost in Yonkers, Three Tall Women, Rent, Dinner with Friends, Wit, Dancing At Lughnasa, Kiss of The Spider woman, Death of The Maidan, Arcadia, Skylight, Closer, The Weir. The possibilities are endless, and the work will be challenging you on so many boundary breaking levels that you will have to exist in your risk-taking core.

We will invent and destroy and redefine the messages of old and help to face-lift the potent truths buried within these stories. We will push the boundaries of convention and hyper-activate our permission giving core. Risk and play as one.

If you want to be an actor in the depths of your soul. If you feel the calling within you. If you are willing to pull back the curtain and hold yourself accountable to the fears, doubts and vulnerabilities that reside within. If you want to live and breathe acting and are willing to put in the time, effort, drive, commitment, and blood, sweat and tears then join the tribe and feel the daring we share.

We are posting early so there is more time to work and, if you have an actor you wish to partner with then you can register early together and get to work.
