Auditioning Workshop by David Triacca

5 Weeks $200 (+ $25 registration fee)

Wednesdays 2PM-5PM from Nov. 11 until Dec. 16th

Auditioning is an art unto itself. And, unfortunately, many good actors are never taught this art form. There are so many variables that make up a good audition. Being prepared, being relaxed, owning the material, feeling comfortable in your skin, the ability to have a dialogue about the script, being flexible enough to take direction, and the confidence of being yourself in this most unusual circumstance. This workshop is intended to help actors bridge the gap from the craft of acting to the business of getting a job. Regardless how reputable your training program, if you’re not taught how to execute your technique during the audition process, no one will know it’s there. Many well-trained actors do not know how to make specific choices for an audition. The actor locks up and forgets what they have learned, eventually giving up. This workshop will help free and empower the actor during the audition process. It will trigger one’s curiosity instead of one’s fear. The actor will come to the audition knowing how to activate material quickly and instinctively while making informed choices. You will be presented with many audition scenarios from prepared monologues to cold readings. The skills established in this workshop allow you to harness your personal powers of instinct, imagination, emotional truth and your own sense of reality. Once you realize that there is a balance of power between the actor and director, you might start looking forward to the next audition. You will also learn everything you need to know about the ins-and-outs of the entertainment industry, including headshots, resumes, callbacks and the different areas of employment. Interview required.

Tahuti Lodge, Ordo Templi Orientis, NYC, is proud to present …..

Special Guest Lecturer and noted author

BRIAN COTNOIR

Author of The Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy

Will be presenting a lecture on
ALCHEMY AND THE ASCENT OF THE SOUL


OPEN EVENT
4:00-6:00 PM



In Constantinople June 617AD, Stephanos of Alexandra finished writing a series of lectures called the Art of Gold-making. This work is the synthesis of alchemy to that time and a synopsis of what was transmitted to the Arabs and on to the West. By examining excerpts from this work, we will see the broad outlines of Byzantine alchemy with its more overt spiritual emphasis — alchemy as the ascent of the soul.
In today's talk this idea of the ascent of the soul will be explored from a variety of perspectives and traditions. Please join noted author and practicing alchemist Brian Cotnoir, as he surveys the techniques and methods used by alchemists throughout history in their search for enlightenment and spiritual transformation.

Maintaining our distinct brand and setting ourselves apart from the hundreds of other companies on the web who also offer painted backdrops, is CRUCIAL! Our backdrops are created from a "photographer's perspective".  We do not create backdrops with faux finishes, street scenes, sunsets, roman column, star constellations, rolling hills, or anything that resembles a place where a photographer a simply visit, instead of hang up a fake scene behind his model(s). Nor do we use colors in an odd, distracting combination or the corny "brush stroke" type, backdrop (like the one used in all of our grade school pictures or Sears family portraits).

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS AD IF YOU DO NOT HAVE COLLEGE DEGREE WITH AN "ART" MAJOR, AND/OR HAVE NOT EXHIBITED YOUR WORK IN GALLERIES. ALL RESPONSES WITH NO LINK TO VIEW YOUR WORK ON A WEBSITE WILL BE IGNORED. All compensation is "commission based" at 50% of any rental or sale of the backdrop(s) you create.

Before contacting us, it is important that you look at our website to clearly understand the unique type of backdrops we offer, (AND) view our photo gallery to understand the use of these backdrops.

ABOUT FLAMENCO: Multicultural by definition, Flamenco evolved from Moorish, Jewish, Spanish, and Gypsy communities living side by side for centuries in the southern region of Spain called Andalucia. Rhythms from Northern Africa and South America continue to influence this diverse art form today.

Flamenco appeals to people on many levels due to its intense music and the energetic, vibrant dance it inspires. From the sad song (cante jondo) to the more light and improvised nature of the Buleria, we are reminded of life filled with pride, passion, honor, love, sorrow,... and rejuvenation.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY: "Thanks for all your help in every possible way. You are a class A teacher. Looking forward to June like a kindergartener going into first grade." Lisa N. "...Ha sido un mes muy rico y divertido y me la he pasado muy bien en las clases..." Alex V. "We are both enjoying the classes so much! your enthusiasm and energy as a teacher is inspiring..."
