Led by Tomislav Novakovic (NYC/The Actors Studio)
About this Event
This workshop is open to monologue work, original scene work with a partner or two, and other material (an audition or booked job for a film, play or series)
It's an invaluable experience for an Actor to create in a safe environment. It enables actors to enhance their creativity, concentration and commitment in a supportive environment. I encourage those interested in developing their craft to join us and experience that growth. The workshop is flexible and drop ins are encouraged, meaning if you are preparing for a role and wish to work on it for a few workshops and then come another time that's fine. It is the same format as the Actors Studio of New York.
