The Five Week Workshop is a program that allows students interested in going beyond the One Time Intensive and is modeled after the week to week Reality experience offering similar challenges, obstacles, conflict and comraderie building found on Reality TV shows. Students witll further develop their acting/improvisational skills and a camera will always be present during the five weeks, simulating the 24/7 'coverage' concept of the shows. The five weeks are broken down as follows:

Weeks 1 and 2 - Improvisation and Reality TV Conflict:

Students will become more confident by trusting their own style and instincts, through theater and film exercises that further explore: developing a trust of your originality, your life stories, embarrassing moments and experiences. We will also explore techniques in dealing with diverse and extreme personalities in close quarters, hard and fast techniques to improve facing "Reality Show" based obstacles and challenges, and also facing the negative and turning it into a positive.

Week 3 and 4 - On Set Training and the Audition Tape:

Students will explore on set behavior and will also learn how best to make a tape for submission with hands on exercises and the shooting of an actual tape. We will show how to make the camera work for you once you are on set and further explore: blocking, staging, wardrobe details and personally tailoring your look to your advantage. Students will continue to be trained in improvisation technique as well.

Week 5 - Tape Viewing and Guest Lecture Q & A

Submission tapes will be critiqued by guest lecturers Robert Russell and Jorge Bendersky. We will analyze student audition tapes and best practices for the audition process. There will be an extended question and answer period with guest lecturers and a closing graduation celebration.
