CALGARY UPSTART

February 10 to April 6, 2020

(no class on February 17 – Family Day)

 

Calling all Directors, Actors and Writers.

 

Upstart is an 8 week development program for emerging actors, directors and writers presented by AMPIA and Jonathan Joffe Pictures and coordinated by Calgary actor Karen Ryan. Contact Karen at calgaryupstart@gmail.com for more information.

 

We film two scenes every Monday night, from 6:30 to 10:00 pm over 8 weeks.  Scenes are professionally edited and a copy is given to participants for their own personal use**.  Directors will direct 4 out of 8 nights (but attendance is encouraged for all 8 sessions) and actors will participate in all 8.

 

Cost – $189.00 (gst included) for members of ACTRA, AMPIA, or WIFTA;

$241.50 (gst included) for non-members

 

Auditions and interviews will be held on Monday, February 3, 2020 from 6:30 to 9:00 pm.  If interested please send your request for an audition/interview to calgaryupstart@gmail.com. Previous participants do not need to audition again.

Actors – send a copy of your resume and headshot.

Directors – send a copy of your resume and any links to past work that you would like to share

 

Come on out and blast off the cobwebs – enroll in Calgary’s best kept Secret…

 

CALGARY Upstart!

 

** edited scenes are not for use in demo reels.  They are for personal interest only and cannot be shared.
