In this introductory class with Kate Craven, newer actors will build foundational skills and understanding of both the craft and business of acting.
After working with actors of varying levels for the past two decades, Kate has developed an 8 WEEK FOUNDATIONAL ACTING COURSE which clearly and concisely walks actors through the process of preparation to performance, while maintaining professionalism on set. Each week covers a new aspect of the business, always keeping the emphasis on developing the actor as both artist and professional.
In this eight week course, Kate has an eye on delivering truthful performances on screen through script analysis, voice and body work and scene study, she also offers insight into in-person and on-tape auditioning, how to find the right head shot photographer and how to prepare for the shoot, how to seek out an agent, personal professionalism, on-set etiquette, and industry advice and pointers. The final week of the course is dedicated to completing a one-minute demo reel built from class work, which can be used for agency search, or if already represented, to show your team your current work.
Kate offers a superior level of training and a safe space to learn the fundamentals of our art form by creating a calm but challenging environment with a focus on self-esteem and confidence so that all students feel the freedom to explore and grow. A healthy mindset and a respect of self and the creative process will always be at the forefront of the way Kate teaches.
Kate began her training for film and television in Sydney, Australia with renowned acting coach Sandra Lee Paterson. On moving to Vancouver, Canada Kate found her home at The Working Actors Gym and has been studying with industry veteran Aaron Craven for the past decade, developing both her craft and her teaching technique. Aside from acting and teaching, Kate is also a writer and is in development for over a half dozen projects. She is the Company Manager for Mitch and Murray Productions and produces the company’s annual theatre production alongside her business and life partner, Aaron Craven.
