Description:

Join the SAG-AFTRA LA Conservatory for Representation Expectation with Kevin E. West!

Communication creates expectation. Think back on your communications with a partner and your perception of “how things would proceed.” When any key element of any relationship is left without clear communication, often inaccurate expectations are created in our own minds that commonly lead to forms of disappointment, discord, or worse… emotional chaos. Understanding the scope, expectation and specificity of a representative relationship is paramount. Learn how to encourage yourself to become a new expert at the communication “set-up” with your representation so that you remain on the same page at all times, increasing the likelihood of mutual success.

Directions:
Attendees are welcome to bring a notebook or laptop for note taking.
