Fall 2008 - Special October Workshops - 4 weeks only!

We've added two 4-week workshops in October:

COMEDY - EVERYONE IS FUNNY!
(Teens and young adults)
Four-week course
Fridays 6pm to 9pm
October 3 to October 24

Every actor should be able to enjoy the challenges of performing comedy. Making an audience laugh can be tricky work, but it is, by far, the most rewarding kind of acting to do when you have the confidence that comes with technique and training. Overcome any fear of comedic acting and sharpen your skills in this class. Everyone is funny.


ACTING - IMPROVISATION AND SCENE STUDY
(ages 9-12 years)
Four-week course
Saturdays 10am to 12pm (noon)
October 4 to October 25

Whether acting material is scripted or improvised, spontaneity is essential. Through exercises and games based on the work of Viola Spolin, we will address the common mistakes and habits actors make that can inhibit their most honest and interesting performances from reaching the audience.

Through scripted material from a variety of styles from different mediums, we will work on text analysis, character and action. We apply (and cite for beginners) the techniques of the major schools of modern acting: Stanislavsky, Chekov, Strasberg and Meisner. Students learn about these innovators to the art, and explore the benefits of their teaching in their class work.

"You guys are amazing and we so appreciate your dedication to and support of all the kids (but this time especially Karli)." - Tom and Vicki Blalock

Hallie Todd Studios and In House Media combine efforts again with our longtime student and coaching client, the lovely and talented Karli Blalock!

Coaching by Hallie Todd and screen test directed and shot by Glenn Withrow helped Karli put on the full court press for landing the role of “Evelyn” in the independent feature film, “Pearl”.

This film tells the true story of Pearl Carter Scott, a Chickasaw girl, who is well known as the youngest licensed pilot in America.

Congratulations Karli Blalock!
