LA-BASED BONNIE ROOT 2 DAY INTENSIVE!
April 6th and 7th

IN BETWEEN THE LINES. (Anatomy of a Scene)

In this two-day workshop, you will break down, step by step, one scene, over the course of the two days. You will receive personalized and meaningful coaching throughout, culminating in a final taping and feedback.

We will focus and ask questions together to reveal the layers of history, point of view, relationship, emotion, obstacles, environment, tone, pacing, and more, that the writer has provided on the page. Then we will get you on your feet to alchemize all of these details into an emotionally authentic, grounded, and personalized performance. The goal is to have you walk away with a process of discovery that boosts your consistency and confidence in your craft!

Instructor: Bonnie Root https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0740505/

April 6th &7th
SAT 11am-6pm
SUN 11am-5pm

$295 per person for both days!!!

Option for one day at $185

NOTE: If you only come Saturday, you will not participate in the final taping on Sunday, but you will have the option to tape yourself at home and send it to me for a final analysis via email.
If you only come on Sunday, you can do the homework on Saturday on your own. I can send it to you in an email packet one week prior to the workshop and you can come Sunday for the final coaching and taping.

Obviously, this workshop is structured in a way that the most benefit will come from attending both days!

***We will also be doing some physical, emotional, and mental warm-ups on Saturday morning via ZOOM with LA-based award-winning vocal coach APRIL HENRY.
