screen ACTING FOUNDATIONS for the PERFORMING ARTIST: WINTER RESEt

Winter has a funny way of convincing us that we should simply become tiny little burritos for three months. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with staying warm with hot chocolate and becoming one with your oversized jumper, maybe - this year - instead of waiting for winter to end, you use it as a training ground and enter spring with a whole new skillset.

Screen Acting Foundations for the Performing Artist was created to be a space where performers can grow their ability, build confidence, explore new skills, and broaden their opportunities.

Come grow as a performer and see what becomes possible.

About Caz

Hi, I’m Caz - founder of the StretchiFlex and all ‘round fun human.

Prior to working professionally in film and production for the past seven years as a Producer and Director, I trained in screen acting, worked in screen acting, and later moved into acting coaching at a local theatre company, where I spent over a decade helping performers grow in confidence, receptivity to direction, and truthfulness in performance.

Throughout my career on both sides of the camera, I’ve worked with many talented performers who want to step into screen acting - people who may already have stage experience, musicality, movement training, or professionalism on set, but haven’t yet developed the foundations of screen acting:

That’s why this course was created (!!!!!) and I’m so happy you’re here.

You’ll Leave the Course With:

• ~1 minute filmed showreel scene (selected in partnership with your instructor from the weekly filming) for your portfolio.
