Hollywood, CA, December 04, 2006 --(
PR.com)-- Most screenwriting classes address topics like the three act structure, the nine act structure, the heroes journey and character development. What they don't address... are the needs of the actors that will play all the parts in every script, or the needs of directors and producers who must find roles that exceptional actors are eager to play.
Take this empowering 18-hour class offered by Elaine Zicree, a working actor/director with more than twenty years of professional experience and multiple Hollywood screenwriting credits.
You will:
* Work with professional actors to produce one or more scenes from your screenplay
* Understand exactly what actors need to see in every scene you write
* Discover what attracts actors to roles in a screenplay
* Learn how to communicate your vision of a character to actors through your scripts
* Learn how actors create full-fledged characters from words on a page
* Explore your characters through understanding how actors will play them
* Learn how to develop scripts that will be easier to sell because they will be "playable"
* Network with working writers, actors & filmmakers in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area.
* Find a family of artists you can work with again and again
This 18-hour multi-discipline class fills the gaps left behind by the vast majority of courses, and provides a practical, cost effective laboratory in which writers can discover the collaborative aspects of their art.
Between four and six writers will be admitted into each class.
