Now's the time to get in the room and work with NYC's top CDs. The Monday Night Class is a powerhouse networking tool and an incredible educational opportunity for its attendees.
Dates: Mondays, September 14th, 21st, 28th, & October 5th 2015 Times: 7PM-830PM or 830PM-10PM Capacity: Each class section is limited to 8 students! *Please be advised that there may be 1 extra student per section on any given week due to someone making up a class. Location: AGR, 15 West 28th Street, 9th Floor, NYC 10001 Cost: $450 Some of the unique benefits of the class include:
- Small classes (limited to 8 students per section) - An informative Q&A with each guest followed by each actor working one on one time in the studio with the guest CD and Jane Dashow (an amazing senior staff member at AGR) while the rest of the class watches on a monitor. - A real opportunity to work with each guest CD in an audition setting, get to know their personal audition preferences, with all the benefits of an intimate, supportive class. The CDs get to see what you would be like in an audition scenario, how you take direction etc, but unlike in an audition, actors get detailed feedback and come away with crucial knowledge on how to nail their auditions and move forward. They are now on the radar of the guest CDs and begun establishing a working relationship. - The ability to work with a highly skilled, professional reader/actor who is there to support you in your work. - Actors are emailed an HD QuickTime video each week of their on-camera work. Over the course of 4 weeks, actors get to work on camera with 4 major film & television casting directors PLUS Jane Dashow, an amazing senior staff member at The Actor's Green Room. Actors get to build relationships with the guest casting directors and work with them in their medium. Each class session begins with a Q&A with the guest casting director. Next, each actor will work one on one on camera with the guest casting director and Jane Dashow while the rest of the class watches on a television monitor. Actors work on prepared sides each week chosen by the guest casting director. When in the room, actors will receive adjustments to tweak their performances and will learn what each of the guest casting directors lo ok for in an audition. Actors are supported by an outstanding reader and are emailed their on camera work in the form of a QuickTime HD movie after each class. With an ambience and camaraderie that can't be beat, The Monday Night Class provides the educational and networking opportunities that truly make a difference in an actor's career.
