Freehold is excited to announce a new class: Acting Focused Intensive in Camera Skills, taught by Freehold cofounder and Artistic Partner Robin Lynn Smith. In this class, students learn the techniques necessary to bring character actions and subtextual events to life specifically and truthfully in the unique circumstances of performing in front of a camera.

This class is focused on tools for the actor that are rooted in behavior, authenticity, and uninterrupted internal life—to develop rich, layered, dimensional characters on camera. Students will work with techniques that allow actors to free themselves in front of the camera, perform with authenticity, and respond spontaneously to the work of their partner(s). Scenes will be shot and reshot to allow performers to assess their work with faculty guidance to build greater specificity and deeper connection in subtextually driven scenes.

This class will meet on Monday evenings, starting in late January. If you are interested in applying for a spot in this class, please reach out with an acting resume to info@freeholdtheatre.org to set up an interview. Interviews/auditions will be on December 7.
