SUMMER 2009 – THE PILOT PROGRAM – ACTORS
The pilot Beyond the 8-Ball workshop is for actors and can be applied to anyone at any stage in their career, whether just starting out or seasoned vet. The group will be diverse and dynamic and specifically chosen from the pool of applicants.
Acting was chosen for the pilot program because, being such an illusive vocation by which to make a good living, we figure if we can succeed with actors everyone else will be a walk in the park.
The pilot program will begin by establishing exactly what stage each member has reached in his or her career and determining what the next level looks like for them. Each participant will develop a game-plan based on what they intend to accomplish next, and will execute and refine that plan throughout the 10-weeks.
In subsequent weeks we will:
Explore the challenges facing actors in terms of skill, competition, the look, auditioning, agents & managers, classes, “luck,” networking, marketing, and, most importantly, commitment.
Examine the myths and realities of the acting profession and debunk the so-called mystery of why one person makes it while another misses the mark.
Identify preconceptions and misconceptions about the profession that serve only as debilitating obstacles to success.
Determine the truths about how things work and conduct experiments to provide proof of our discoveries.
Learn how to identify and create the opportunities that are usually written-off as luck.
Tailor the program to the individuals in the group so that optimal results are achieved.
