How much do you really know about your Local Conservatory? This is your chance to learn!
Presented by the Background Actors Education & Outreach and L.A. Conservatory Curriculum Sub-Committees.
The SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Conservatory offers a low-cost opportunity for members to come together in creative fellowship to develop and hone their craft through classes, workshops, lectures and panels.
Join class category experts from the L.A. Conservatory Curriculum Sub-Committee and staff including Kevin McCorkle (Business classes), Shaan Sharma (Theatrical/Commercial classes), Mark Atteberry (Theatrical classes), Kym Jackson (Mindset classes), Paul Hungerford (Improv classes), Aseem Tiwari (Self-Taping classes), and Victoria Hoffman (AFI Casting). They will guide members through the many offerings of the L. A. Conservatory and how the program can assist in your career development.
Conservatory classes and programs include: On-camera, Audition-Style Prepared Reads (for specific genres), Young Performers, Improvisation, Business, Social Media, Voiceover, and "Actors Evenings,” which provide opportunities to meet casting directors, agents, and other industry professionals in a moderated panel with a Q&A format. In addition, Conservatory members are eligible to be cast in AFI first-year student films, allowing you to gain vital on-camera experience.
There will also be interactive exercises where panelists will lead the members through exercises and/or sample lessons. So, take this opportunity to learn all you can.
