About the Course:
In this three-hour session, Rebecca Gibson will take you through hands-on, participant-driven exercises to empower you to answer three key questions that will reframe your career.
What do you want – the more specifically you can answer this question within the context of yourself as an artist and businessperson, the more clearly you can articulate your action plan. Why do you want it – this is a key question to define for yourself not only your career goals, but your life goals around your career. You may be surprised and transformed by the answer! How are you going to get it – many people want a career as an actor, but you need to be accountable to your own goals with an action plan tailor-made by you, for you.
This experience will be framed around scene study and audition skills. Buckle up for an intense, action-oriented, collaborative session.
