Spacetaker, in collaboration with Culture 365 member company Nova Arts Project, hosts NY casting director Julie Schubert in a casting workshop benefiting local professional actors.
Class Description: Professional and aspiring actors will have the opportunity to meet with New York Casting Director, Julie Schubert. The event will begin with a brief introduction to the casting process and a Q&A (approx. 20 minutes) where actors may pose questions regarding the business of acting in film and television. Following the talkback, each actor will workshop actual film or television material with Ms. Schubert, getting constructive feedback on their technique and the audition process. Ms. Schubert will provide these scenes for the actors in advance*, matching the actors with material suited specifically to them. Each workshop will be videotaped and following the event (within 24 hours), actors will receive a Quicktime file of their work. Finally, each actor will have a private 3-5 minute interview with Ms. Schubert, where they will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding their career, headshot, resume, etc. The workshop is limited to the first 20 registrants. (Depending on availability, a second workshop may be held later the same day.)
*All actors will need to submit one copy of their picture and resume prior to the workshop in order for Ms. Schubert to properly assign their workshop scenes. Please either email materials to info@spacetaker.org or drop off at Spacetaker's offices at 2101 Winter Street. (Call ahead 713-868-1839 to schedule a drop-off time.)
