Beginning Actors & Non-Actors
June 2, 2024
This 6-week intensive is for beginning actors/non-actors who have no experience. The aim is to give the student a broad understanding of the acting field and prepare them for further study. The class is designed to improve confidence, garner skills, learn professionalism and inspire artistic creativity. Movement, voice, and improvisation lead to scene study, audition prep, and self-tape audition information. Actors learn professional expectations, industry information, and a general understanding of how the professional world operates. This class is interactive, on your feet, informative, and, most of all, fun!
* Please note –
Interviews for the class are booked.
However, we are happy to add you to our standby list and notify you if an interview becomes available or keep you informed about future intensives.

Teen Acting Intensive
Currently Not Offering

This intensive is designed for that teen performer who is ready for the professional expectations of an adult actor. In a fun, creative, yet demanding environment, each young person will start developing their own system of how to work in a safe environment. Scenes from film, television, and theater will be employed to build their intellectual, emotional, and creative strengths. Actors will also learn a great deal about how the industry works and what they can expect as they grow into the artists/professionals they want to become.

Adult Scene Study
Mixed Levels
Ongoing
This class is for actors of varied levels of experience from the pro to those in the early stages of building their process and career. The framework of the class is designed to build the actor’s internal language and then to translate that language into action where it’s lived in the body.
Class is structured in the form of scene study as a way to deliver exercises, instruction, directing, and personal revelation in order to develop each actor to doing their best work.
This class creates a nurturing environment where students learn their own internal process, and begin to construct a system through guidance and encouragement.
- Ongoing, month-to-month class
- Todd assigns scenes specifically to the actor and what they are working on from material from film and television.
- Students are expected to conduct themselves as professionals, rehearse outside of class, bring all necessary items for their scenes, and be off-book.

Masters Film Production
Invitation Only
Advanced
This invitation-only project is an ongoing experiential workshop fusing acting and content creation. Using only original scripts written and developed by the actors. In this workshop, not only will students perform but learn the various disciplines of production.
Each 15-session cycle will create a short film or web-based project focusing on performance. Actors will then have experience along with content for their reels, festival submissions, and a starting point for creating their own media channels.
This workshop will evolve and develop over time and experience with the primary purpose of the actors creating content for themselves, learning to be self-starters, and becoming a part of a creative and productive artistic community.
