Expand your craft and get camera ready.
In ArtsBridge Summer Screen Acting, students will utilize and build upon their existing stage skills to explore the craft of acting for the screen. A series of exercises and hands-on experience will illuminate the differences between stage and screen. Students will film partnered scenes under professional direction and assist in the technical aspects of filming scenes for their peers. Students will leave the program with a professionally edited copy of their filmed scene. The program will also cover self-tape tips for college auditions. Open only to students who are attending a 2-week ArtsBridge Summer program.
