Masterclass: Acting for the Stage and Screen
A Two-Day Workshop with Tony Amendola
Are you someone who moves between theater and tv/film work? Or would you like to become one? In this weekend intensive, you'll be led through a series of exercises designed to help you develop your ambidextrous expression as an actor. Through discussion, exercises, audition technique and monologue work, you'll explore what binds and separates the two related disciplines.
Please come prepared with an audition piece for Stage and/or Film/TV.
*Please note, students under 18 require permission from the moderator to take this academy class. If you’re in this category, please reach out to us at academy@antaeus.org.
