Join us for a staged reading of our upcoming feature film, Flood Streets.

A young musician attempts to eke out a living selling worthless real estate, a dying woman creates a mini-utopia in a storm-ravaged neighborhood, a single mom's schemes to find love and money put her daughter in danger, and a failed writer can’t stop fantasizing about his dentist – together these creative misfits struggle to bring life back to New Orleans one year after Hurricane Katrina.

The Foundation: Voice and Body Training for the Actor

Saturdays 2:30-4:30pm
Jan 17, 24 and Feb 7, 14, 28, more TBA?
$150 for this 18 hour course
Instructor: Joseph Meissner | joseph [at] thehatcherymedia.com

This first acting course from The Hatchery Media will focus on building the foundation for subtle, deep, and compelling acting: the voice and body.

The voice and body are the actor’s instruments. Learning to relax and connect to deep impulses, to allow natural unfiltered reactions to flow out of imaginary situations and to respond spontaneously and unselfconsciously to a partner or situation are the keys to subtle and powerful performance.

The text we will use for the class is Freeing the Natural Voice by Kristin Linklater. I highly recommend that you get the book and read it at home as we progess through the exercises.
