Acting for the Camera
by Lauren Nichols 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Enrollment is now open for Film Classes at the Baldwin Wallace Community Arts School! Projects are about to start gearing up for 2019! If you want to put yourself in the best possible position to book these on camera opportunities, you should be training! Our classes are taught by *industry professionals* with credits from films, national commercials, network television, and thorough training from Los Angeles. Enrollment is open for the following classes: Film Intensive III Tuesdays 7:30-8:30 (ages 18+) This class will use current scripts from film and television. We will cover script analyzing, how to breakdown the script and deliver the performance the director envisions. We will also cover how to market yourself so that you are desirable to CD's and agents, and how to launch your career here in the local film scene while using techniques from Los Angeles. *9-week session extending from January 21 through March 23* Meisner 1- Wednesday 7:00-8:30 (Ages 18+) The Meisner Method is about finding the truth in your work, leaving “acting” behind in favor of reacting, truly listening to your scene partner and acting from your heart, not your script. We’ll start with objective repetition, work into a more subjective repetition, then raise the stakes with a knock at the door. You’ll learn the reality of doing, not pretending, so that you can produce emotion any time you need it. *9-week session extending from January 21 through March 23* Teen Film- Saturdays 11:30-12:30 (Ages 12-17) This class will use current scripts from film and television to incorporate skills that casting directors want to see. Focus will be on how to keep the acting natural, make the right character choices, and how to take the scene from page to set. *9-week session extending from January 21 through March 23* Kids on Camera! Wednesday 5:00-6:00 (Ages 7-11) This class will use current scripts from film and television to incorporate skills that casting directors want to see. Focus will be on how to keep the acting natural, make the right character choices, and how to take the scene from page to set.

by Durbin, Mark H. 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

See the movie before seeing the musical! "Hands on a Hard Body: The Documentary" will be screened at Hudson Players Jan. 20th "Hands on a Hard Body," an award-winning documentary film, will be screened at Hudson Players on Sunday, January 20th, 2019, at 7:00 p.m. at Barlow Community Center, 41 S. Oviatt Street in Hudson. The runtime is about one-and-a half hours. The admission is free or whatever those attending care to donate. The movie was the basis for the musical of the same name that will see its Northeast Ohio premiere February 1st at Hudson Players. The captivating show features a tuneful country-rock score and soulful lyrics by Phish's Trey Anastasio and Amanda Green. The 1997 film was directed by S. R. Bindler and documented an endurance competition that took place at a car dealership in Longview, Texas. The contest pits contestants against each other to see who can keep their hand on a pickup truck for the longest amount of time. Whoever can last the longest, without leaning or squatting on the "hardbody," wins the truck. The film chronicled the 1995 competition which lasted an amazing 77 hours! There were five minute breaks issued every hour and fifteen minute breaks every six hours....with real-life people telling their unique stories along the way. "Hands on a Hard Body" garnered audience awards for the best documentary at the 1997 Los Angeles Film Festival. Show dates for the Hudson Players musical "Hands on a Hardbody" are Feb. 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 22 & 23 at the Barlow Community Center, 41 South Oviatt Street in Hudson For tickets go to www.hudsonplayers.com<http://www.hudsonplayers.com/?fbclid=IwAR223eSTcoHx2DdQR6P8zjALYIledH6-_NER…> or call the box office at 330-655-8522. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

Mr. Burns Auditions Round Two!!
by Eric Kildow 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

WE ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR FEMALE ACTORS KSU Trumbull Theatre will be holding auditions for "Mr. Burns...A Post Electric Play" on January 8 & 9 from 6-8pm. DATES: Rehearsals will begin around January 14th, with the show going up March 15th-24th. ROLES: 3m 5f, with additional flexible. ACTING: Come prepared to tell a short (3-4 minute) entertaining story (fictional or factual) and to read from the script. We are looking for people who could hold their own in a largely oral culture. SINGING: Bring 16 measures of a prepared song. Please bring sheet music as an accompanist will be provided. Auditionees should be able to match pitch and rhythm and will be given a sample to demonstrate. Songs can be of any genre and should show vocal strength in the lower registers. Auditions are open to the public. Please call 330-675-8887 or email trumbullboxoffice(a)kent.edu for more information. THE SHOW: Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy propels us forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future. After the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors share a campfire and begin to piece together the plot of "The Simpsons" episode "Cape Feare" entirely from memory. 7 years later, this and other snippets of pop culture (sitcom plots, commercials, jingles, and pop songs) have become the live entertainment of a post apocalyptic society, sincerely trying to hold onto its past. 75 years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created. A paean to live theater, and the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another. -- Eric S.
