SUPERMENTORS TWO-DAY CLASS ON ART & BUSINESS OF ACTING
 
ACTORS! 

Develop your CRAFT and CAREER SAVVY working with Industry Pros!

It’s no mystery – those who succeed spectacularly as actors learn how to create stand-out performances, get in front of those who can hire, and deliver the goods.

Over the last few years, writer-producer-directors MARC & ELAINE ZICREE have guided their acting students to landing auditions, getting call backs and nailing leads and major roles in feature films, pilots and TV series!

In this class, you get the tools to succeed in both the craft AND career of acting:

In the DEVELOPMENT OF CRAFT, using exercises and scene study, you’ll…

·        Quickly find layerings and subtexts to make characters compelling, real and unforgettable!

·        Provide successful tools to elevate your roles from five-and-unders to supporting and leads!

·        Find techniques to show the hearts & souls of seemingly-unsympathetic characters.

·        Learn what prevents drama from becoming melodrama & comedy from being painful.

·        Gain tools to overcome weak writing, unskilled directors and your own blocks.

In refining CAREER SAVVY, you’ll learn…

·        To develop reels that get you the job -- AND get you to the next level.

·        How to nail auditions.

·        How (and the surprising with WHOM) to network and create LASTING RELATIONSHIPS.

·        The care and feeding of a long-term career.

·        How to stop waiting to be picked -- and TAKE POWER.

Learn in a SAFE and SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT.  Elaine Zicree is a former actor and Off-Broadway director who has moved to the other side of the table, and can help you learn the "why" behind who is -- and isn't -- hired, and the "how" needed to turn it around!  (And Marc's done his share of hiring and mentoring actors, too.)

This Weekend Classes will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 30-31 from 10-5.

To reserve and for further details, please call (323) 363-1259 or email marc@zicree.com

”I cherish working with the Zicrees. Whatever depth you are willing to go, they can take you deeper still.”  Dixie Lee Sedgwick, lead, BONNIE AND CLYDE – END OF THE LINE

A new Acting Workshop BBC, located at S.I.R., 6465 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028 across the road from Amoeba Records. The classes are from entry level to master classes with an intense on-camera instruction. Teachers include Steve Cardwell, Tony Boldi and Adrian Carr.

*********************************

The following is a Letter written by DJ Holte to all ex students of the Van Mar Academy

You will all remember Van Mar Academy and Ivan’s always brilliant, sometimes blunt, method of teaching and his passionate desire to share the knowledge of the business with people who weren't able to get that information elsewhere.  Many of you will also know he has been experiencing a cash flow problem for some time and this has now resulted in him having to give up his space at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard.

Rather than taking on another rented space, Ivan has made the decision to close Van Mar Academy completely and teach smaller classes in his own home.  He sees this as an opportunity to provide a more intimate, and more intense, workshop for students since the size of the class will not exceed 8 people.

For everyone else, the three coaches from Van Mar Academy – Steve Cardwell, Tony Boldi and Adrian Carr – have joined forces to create a brand new entity that will continue to offer a place in Hollywood where actors can learn all aspects of the craft and the business of acting. 

It is Ivan's hope that you will all think of this not as the end of an era, but as the beginning of something new and great, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. BCC will also continue to teach the techniques that Ivan developed over his 40+ years in the business.

The name of this new entity is BCC (Boldi, Cardwell & Carr) and, for the moment, will be housed at S.I.R. 6465 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028, across the road from Amoeba Records.

Tony and Steve have already held several classes there, and all of Adrian's students agree that the space is far better suited to their needs as there is a diverse range of location possibilities both inside and outside.

Adrian’s intensive on-camera scene class will be held on Mondays from 7:30 pm to 11.30pm.  Tony Boldi’s scene class is on Tuesday’s, and Steve Cardwell will be teaching nightly classes throughout the week.

Adrian’s class welcomes ex-pats of Van Mar as well as new students, and after an initial audit, they will be able to join at $30 per class, payable one month in advance.  Actors wishing to only put up one scene on an intermittent basis may do so for a fee of $70, pre-booked and paid for in advance.  Scenes are limited to 3 pages and shot with appropriate coverage that can be edited and added to a demo reel, or used to start one.

For more information, please call

Michael Savage is the creator of www.TheTotalWorkshopForActing.com, which commenced in 1999. He is also a graduate of SUNY Purchase, and Alumni member of the TONY AWARD Honoree THE ACTING COMPANY, created by John Houseman.. 

As a performer Michael has starred on General Hospital (Vince Frascatti), has had several Guest Star roles, as well as worked with Meryl Streep and William Hurt in a production of Henry V Directed by Joseph Papp in New  York’s Shakespeare in the Park series. Michael Won the prestigious MARY ANN KELLY Foundation AWARD OF EXCELLENCE for his performance as Tye McCool in the West Coast Premiere of VIEUX Carre by Tennessee Williams at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.

Michael built his own acting ensemble and developed a Film company (The Actors Film Company)
through The Total Workshop For Acting (and it's 24/7 website Showcase) based on originally written material.   In the workshop Michael applies the summer theater/ stock philosophy into his classes based on the reality of Hollywood. Students with the Total Workshop for Acting will not only work with fellow performers of all skill levels but also be required to handle lots of original material to sharpen your short-term preparedness skills.

To date The Total Workshop For Acting is in the process of completing 2 feature films borne out of the workshop and written, produced and directed by Michael. The workshop shorts 'Secret Blessing', 'Having a Baby I Hope', 'About My Husband' and 'Violent Actions and Wisdom' all won STEVEN BOCHO Cafe Confidential Awards.

He has also been honored by Pinnacle Avid the Film Editing software company with a Best Documentary Award
for his short film 'A Story of Hope' using their software...

As well as Winning a Best Writer for a short original anti-Drug Commercial that was selected to be on the Katherine Heigle film Side-effects the movie...on the Bonus Material...


Workshop films have been in The Palm Springs Film Festival and The Queens International Film Festival...

Michael teaches his actors how to work fast with his ONE SHOT - ONE TAKE film exercises and to LEARN YOUR LINES quickly...which he believes is a major key to great acting in the Hollywood environment.

The workshop allows the actors to work towards custom demo reels...so because of Michael's long time relationship with Sarah Pettycrew as a actress and Producer for The Actors Film Company Michael is offering a special opportunity to join The Total Workshop For Acting...to all Creative Actors Alliance members...
