Acting Alchemy

By Bianca LaVerne Jones

Acting Alchemy gives you a clear process to transform your spiritual practice and script analysis into your weight in gold. By combining your unique “it” factor with the art of letting go, this practice offers actors a tangible, engaging way to secure their craft. The result? Absolute GOLD—a journey worth its weight in gold, and a performance worth watching.

This workshop allows actors to commit to a process for approaching a script and performing character work.

Saturday, August 1, 11:15am – 1:15pm
Ardmore 1, Benton Convention Center (Benton South)
