Acting Classes that lead you to stage
Thu, 4 May 2006, 01:13 pm
Dear aspiring actors/actresses,
A Different Corner Productions (ADC Productions), A Sydney based production company has launched the third term of its Acting Classes. We are not like other acting classes where we aim to make profit from the pockets of our fellow actors. Instead, we invite people to participate in our classes where a portion of their proceeds ($15 per class) will go to producing a theater show at the end of the term!
So, how exactly does it work?
1. You turn up to one of our classes for your FREE lesson. Here, you will work with one of our three apt teachers.
2. If you like it, you turn up again next time! If not, all the best wishes to you and goodbye~!
3. As you continue to join us for our classes, your skills will be honed and your friendship with ofellow actors/actresses will be thickened.
4. After 10-15 weeks of classes, ADC Productions will put together a professional theater show for you to act on. This show will be professionally markted and administrated, so expect to see a crowd in the audience seats!
5. There are no contrats, no obligations. Just bring $15 to each class you can turn up to. We are so sure that you'll want to continue turning up, that we saw it needless to have you sign any contracts!
The classes are not for the teachers, not for the company but yours to shine in. It's also a great place to speak to graduates from schools i.e. NIDA, UNSW or NYU if you wish to further your acting into those institutions. The three teachers that will be facilitating the classes are graduates of these schools.
Please feel free to visit our website for more information.

Spot the deliberate mistake...
> 1. You turn up to one of our classes for your FREE lesson. > Here, you will work with one of our three apt teachers.
> Just bring $15 to each class you can turn up to.
Still, I like the idea of it... how do you offset your costs of both the classes and the show? Just with the $15 entry fee? That's one low-budget event!

Keen as ever
Gee Na. You've got keen eyes. Not surprising really. Cats are keen observers. ;-) I picked this up also, but thought that it was an over thought, that is it probably needed the disclaimer (excluding the first one that is....)

A contradiction in terms.

Spot on!
perhaps i wasn't all too clear after all... so here's my clarification:
first class is free, from the subsequent classes, we do ask our students to bring $15 for every class they come to.
with your concerns for it being low-budget, i do see where you're coming from (i would've thrown similar questions if i was a reader myself). but perhaps it'll make more sense if u were to see it from a different angle;
see, we're not trying to make a huge event for a pretty balance sheet at the end (we do that too, but not as a part of this particular program). the primary reason for our enthusiasm for this program is not the money, but the thought of being able to put up a production that WE WANT to stage. as most professional actors would agree, there's always a gap between the shows that sell and shows that we want to make happen.
as it says in the post, this is the third term. us three teachers have done this twice before and have had times of our lives from them. we have our separate jobs in the industry and make our living from there. this is purely for our artistic aspirations.
this is why the price is set to COVER COSTS ONLY. when the show is made and put on stage, the audience will need to pay a proper price to get in (last season it was $15/$22 - still cheap). but for the classes, the teachers have decided not to be paid to train students for a show that the teachers wish to put up.
and for any financial losses we make (it does happen.. naturally), we're covered by our parent company - ADC Productions. The company considers this an investment which we found of great aid in expressing our theatrical endeavors.
thanks for your posts and i hope your aspirations are on their ways to being shown to the public too.

I am reminded of my youth
when the industry was full of idealistic socialists and marxists and many of us almost starved to death doing this stuff. I am not being ironic when I say I am pleased to see it still happens. Good on you. Too far from Adelaide too.
