Nevada Scene Study Workshop Challenges Performers

The Nevada Conservatory Committee hosted a workshop for scene study on May 18 at the Indie Film Factory in Las Vegas. The venue proved to be an excellent choice for the intimate group.

Presented by acting coach, producer and screenwriter Gilda Graham, local performers worked on scenes from a range of films. They were challenged to perform the scenes in different ways and, in some instances, it was the small changes that produced the most significant change. This was particularly evident when one actor was asked to imagine the person he was talking to was someone he cared about. The difference in his performance was visible and palpable. The camaraderie between the actors enabled them to feel comfortable receiving constructive feedback in an encouraging and fun environment.
