One-Day Acting Workshop
This month, the Chicago Actors Studio
will
be holding a special workshop for actors who are new to the
business.
This workshop is designed to be your introduction to the training
programs here at CAS, particularly our main workshop, Acting As A Craft.
Learn fundamental skills such as:
Scene Study
Voice & Diction
Character Development
On-Camera Techniques
Stage Movement
Emotional Recall
Shakespeare
Improv
If you have a headshot and resume, make sure to bring them with
you. Time permitting, we will go over headshots and resumes with
attendees and give valuable advice on what works and what doesn't when
promoting yourself as an actor.
This workshop is free to
attend, and everyone will get to join in theatre games and
exercises, but for only $20.00, you will also get to perform a
monologue or cold reading and personally receive in-depth critique and
direction from the instructor.
If you’ve been considering an acting class, but haven’t been able to
make up your mind, this is the perfect place to start!
Friday, May 27th 7:00pm to 9:30pm
To register, give us a call at 773-645-0222

Because space is limited, there is a $10.00 deposit required to reserve
a space in this workshop. Attendees will be refunded this deposit
when they come to the workshop.
If you are reserving a $20.00 seat, you don't need to pay the $10.00
deposit.
