Directing Actors Workshop (FREE!)
With Lulu Keating, Celia McBride and Karen Hines

This short workshop will illustrate casting and acting for film. A Director and two Actors will demonstrate, with practical exercises, the Director’s and Actors’ process and technique, translating a short scripted scene into shots, convincingly performed.

• It is critical that the right actor is cast in each role. This workshop will begin with a short demonstration of this crucial function.
• How does the Actor prepare? What does the Actor expect from the Audition?
• How does the Director conduct the Audition?
• What factors into the final casting decisions?

DIRECTING

The Director will describe the preparation of the script for shooting, with analysis and notes for actors, shot lists and storyboards.
The Actors will describe their preparation, analysis and rehearsal.
Together, Director and Actors will demonstrate what happens when they meet together on the set: blocking, hitting marks and revising performance.
