Atlantic in LA is an extension of our New York City based school as we are fortunate to have both company members and faculty working in the industry in Los Angeles. The program offers the West Coast actor an opportunity to learn and apply the Atlantic technique. Exclusive, seasonal offerings in Technique, Scene Study and On Camera classes are held in the West Hollywood/ Hollywood area.
Contact Steven Chinni in our New York office to learn more about our upcoming classes and how Atlantic can help you take your training and career to the next level.
The most rigorous training we offer in LA is our Fall Conservatory. Students must have successfully completed advanced training at Atlantic to apply and an audition is required.
FILM TECHNIQUE WITH MAGGIE KILEY
Discover how a consistent technique helps the actor navigate the ever-changing landscape of acting for the camera.. Class time is split between a focus on script analysis, repetition skills and actual shooting using both film and television scenes. Students are asked to present work under the pressures of a living set; shooting out of sequence, limited direction, limited time and most importantly an active and at times chaotic environment. All scenes are shot and directed by fellow students. Technical aspects of camera work are addressed as are the literal demands of result oriented takes.
