Tape…To Stage…To Tape
with Danny Gordon
Saturdays @ 9:30am-12pm
$300 per 4 week session
Next Session Dates TBA
Please join the class list if you are interested in future sessions and Danny will be in touch.
This class is set in a rehearsal environment to gain insights into our characters in order to make our self-tape work more detailed and three dimensional. We will also explore our relationship to the camera and how to begin looking at the camera as an extension of ourselves and our partner in storytelling.
Before the first class, each actor will submit a self-tape for the role they are assigned by Danny. Over the next three weeks of class, you and your scene partner will rehearse the scene you put on tape as you would in a scene study class. In between the 3rd and 4th weeks, you will self-tape again, bringing what we discovered in rehearsal to your audition.
In the final week of class, we will watch everyone's original tape back-to-back with their most recent one and discuss how our rehearsal and scene work influenced our tapes.
'Tape to Stage...' goes beyond a traditional self-tape class. Our work together will empower and inspire you to view the self-tape process in a new way, an opportunity to reveal your full self through text and ultimately capturing who you are in the most effective way for the camera to tell the best story possible.
Full class fee is due upon registration, payable through Venmo. Class fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
