Providing Everything You Need

YOUNG ACTORS WORKSHOP

 

🎬 Ages 6 to 15 · Toronto

​

Morgan David Jones has spent 30 years in the industry, opposite Cate Blanchett in A Streetcar Named Desire and opposite Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba in Aaron Sorkin's Molly's Game. He runs this workshop himself, and treats every kid like an actor, not a child in a class.

​

What sets it apart: casting director Jesse Griffiths, a member of the Casting Society of America who sits on the executive board of the Casting Directors Society of Canada, gives your child personalized, industry level feedback live in the room.

​

Plus, this workshop offers something no other workshop does: a section just for parents. You'll learn to shoot an industry level self tape at home with two hours notice, and how to break down a casting notice so you know exactly what a role is asking for. The more you understand, the better your kid performs.

 

Sunday, September 20, 11am to 4pm

55 Gerrard Street West, Toronto.

  • $195 early bird (ends September 7)

  • $245 general

  • $215 second sibling

Online Self-Tape Clinic

ABOUT THIS CLINIC

Not in Toronto? Doesn't matter. This clinic runs entirely online and is open to actors anywhere in the world. All you need is a camera, a quiet space, and a scene you're ready to work on.

​

HOW IT WORKS

1.  Submit Your Tape Beforehand  Send your self-tape 24 hours before the session. A real audition you're working on, a practice piece, or one we assign. You get more out of it when the coach has already watched it.

2.  Watch Together, Discuss as a Group  All tapes are screened on the Zoom call. The small group watches together — learning from each other's work is half the value of the session.

3.  Receive Your Coaching Note  One focused, specific redirect per actor. Not a list of notes — one thing that actually changes the performance.

4.  Film Live on Camera & Share  Apply the note and perform the scene live on your own camera during the call. Instant feedback, real growth and you leave with something to work on until next time.
