right enabling me to invite my students to sit-in on
one of my auditions. An actor
NEVER gets to do this and the education is
overwhelming!
SEVERAL WORKSHOP PRODUCTIONS OF “INVISIBLE KIDS”
& “KID KOPS”
(a live Ensemble Production
After
the 4 or 6 week Kids Workshop, 6 kids were selected (and the parents agreed) to
do a
Five Week Extended Live Workshop Production of
“INVISIBLE KIDS” and “KID KOPS” which
I directed, produced and partially wrote.
These were conducted the
same as an “authentic Taped-Live Professional
Stage Production”,with
scripts, close-ups, wardrobe requirements, props, rehearsals,
memorizing lines (which
really refined their improv skills and taught them how to
work as an ensemble), etc.
“INVISIBLE KIDS” was performed in a Theatre, the kids invited
their parents
and friends, I invited
other CD’s, agents, managers, etc. It
was taped before and
during the live
performance, and copies of the Videotape with their Screen Credits
were given to each young
actor to keep as a permanent record and use for their
Demo Reel.
These Productions had a
very good effect on both kids and parents, enabling both to
see how much they had
progressed. The parents were able to
clearly see just how
well spent their money
was, and the kids had fun and came away with something
to show for it!
