About the Workshop Actors, teachers, and founders of The Moving Frame, Welker White and Damian Young, return to The Actors Center to lead a cinematic scene study workshop. Over two analysis sessions and two weekends of filming, this workshop is intended to aid actors in building a more sustainable framework from which to draw upon in their film and television work and to provide actors with a safe, supportive, and rich environment to explore key principles in cinematic storytelling. The workshop begins with two sessions on Zoom with an analysis of text aimed at identifying how and where visual story is expressed on the page. Actors will then move into two weekends shooting short scripted scenes in pairs. Each scene will have the opportunity to work twice over the two weekends, moving through multiple takes. Participants will explore letting go of previous takes and allowing new stimuli to inform and deepen the possibilities in the work. Introductory sessions run Tuesday and Wednesday evening, 6:30pm-9:00pm. The two weekends of filming are on consecutive Saturdays and Sundays, 12:00pm-4:00pm.
