Yavapai Community College has been diligently developing its Performing Arts program on the Prescott Campus over the past few years. To further that development, it will hold “The Elevated Actor” Summer Actor Intensive training program from Monday, June 24, to Friday, June 28, at the Jim & Linda Lee Performing Arts Center.
As part of the event, the College is hosting a team of television, film, and stage artists who will work with students throughout the week. With more than 15 seminars and workshops, “The Elevated Actor” is designed to introduce new actors to professional acting and sharpen the skill sets of those already practicing the craft.
The faculty includes Yavapai Community College Theatre Professor Nanette Hofer. Other professional talents lending their skills to the workshop include Groundlings veteran, television actor, and stand-up comedian Matt Conde; Webby award-winning writer/producer and improv comic Russ Gooberman; writer-producer Timothy Boissey; and writer/director Jonas Brenneman.
Sessions will cover acting studies and an auditioning workshop to help actors make a lasting impression. Students will learn different techniques for stage, film, television, and commercial acting. Improvisation and writing workshops are designed to help performers maximize their creative potential in every onstage moment.
“Elevated Actor” participants will conclude their week with a final showcase performance on Friday night, June 28, at 8 p.m. on the Performing Arts Center stage.
The cost of “The Elevated Actor” workshop is $25. Participants must be 16 or older and may attend any or all of the week-long sessions. For registration or additional information, please visit performingarts@yc.edu.
