Welcome to the Blog for the AWS Advanced Class!
This blog is to keep the Advanced AWS Acting Students up to date on everything pertaining to class and other related events. We recap what we learned in class, elaborate a bit, and give you the chance to dive a little deeper!
7/18/2018: AWS Advanced Class Recap: Continuity and Group Therapy!
Greetings, Advanced Ones! (And greetings to whomever else might be lurking here!) We had an interesting and unusual class on Wednesday! Unusual, in that we experimented with our scene work - and I think it was a success! We began class by watching the three completed scene videos from last week's Boardwalk Empire class shoot. We watched the videos, and discussed them at some [...]
