Industry Lecture & Motivation

This talk provides a general overview of the entertainment industry and is also a motivational talk. The goal is to share vital “insider” information as well as open student’s minds so that so they can move forward with a clear, honest and realistic vision and appositive mindset. Our team believe that everyone has something unique to offer to the world. Whether it is on stage, behind the scenes, teaching dance or producing entertainment – everyone’s journey has a purpose! This class allows young artists to think big but also identify the direction they might like to head in (and how that may change along the way!) Students will be advised on how to obtain a reputable agent that best caters for their talent. They will be instructed on how to prepare a letter to an agent in the correct format, accompanied with their photo and CV. Students will also be advised on the basic “Do’s & Don’ts” to follow when working professionally and being part of an agency.

Audition Technique

Great audition technique is essential for landing that dream job! Students will be instructed on how best to prepare for castings or auditions, what to take along on the day and how to behave in a range of different types of auditions including musical theatre, commercial dance, film & television.

Much of this class is a “mock dance audition” with feedback and tips and tricks from Industry professionals shared throughout. Each student will walk away with a valuable experience under their belt and a clearer idea of how to properly prepare and what to expect at an audition.

Catwalk Class

Covering basic steps and posture, this class helps students find a walking technique to best suit their individual style. Students will participate in both dance fashion parade and straight walking exercises. This is useful not only for potential models, but also for poise and confidence in every day life.

Photography

This interactive session will prepare students for any type of photo shoot; what to expect, what to pack, how to be free in front of the camera, how to pose appropriately and how to select the best photos. At the completion of the course each student receives a high res copy of their strongest image from the shoot to use as their professional headshot.

On Camera

Castings for film and television roles are really quite different from stage auditions and special skill and knowledge is required for success in this area. This class is the perfect introduction to this world, covering key casting and acting for camera technique, basic script reading and retaining lines, overcoming nerves, and presenting yourself in a suitable fashion for screen.

Parents are invited to this open session where you will see your children perform in fun and entertaining live runway display. Families will also be given information on what they can do to help and support their child in the Entertainment Industry.

Visuals are key in today’s market! This session allows students to engage with each other and perform in a concept video that features each and every student. The content created allows students to be creative in their presentation and movement, as well as gain “on-set” experience.

The end result is shown to parents on the presentation day and is a great way of engaging students in a creative and fun way and getting them to understand the process required to put together slick, effective content.
