Prerequisites: None
Are you working hard on your craft but not getting seen by agents and casting?
Are you occasionally booking roles but not creating momentum or repeat bookings?
Are you feeling uncertain about the changes in the industry and unsure of how to navigate what is coming next?
The 4Cs (Creativity, Craft, Commerce and Communication), are the four pillars on which to form a successful acting career. Catherine Lough Haggquist developed the framework of The 4Cs to guide actors to take the necessary steps required to maximize opportunities. Producing Your Acting Career: An Introduction to The 4 Cs is a fundamental stepping stone for actors who are ready to enhance their awareness of the power and responsibility they have in building their own thriving acting career.
Concepts explored in this seminar include:
Defining The 4Cs and illustrating how they are the necessary elements for creating a successful, sustainable acting career
Exploring how these elements work together to increase your value as an actor
Moving from the mindset of the “dependent actor” to that of the “independent actor” and ultimately to that of the “interdependent actor”
*Length of seminar may change based on number of students
