The Program
In this series of intensive workshops, participants will practice a variety of skills that will turn a script “treatment” into characters with unique voices, into fully scripted dialogue, and finally into a short film.
By coordinating with the production-oriented Filmmaking 101 program, everyone in Acting for Film will have opportunities to focus on creating characters, improvising dialogue, and helping to develop a working script for the filmmaking crew to then produce. Participants will have on-screen roles to rehearse and develop while learning how the acting techniques used in front of a camera differ from those used onstage. Through feedback, practice, and character interactions, the participants will be the actors who bring the script to life on screen.
