Workshop for Teens: Acting and Directing

Join experienced filmmaker, actor, and educator Liz Anderson for a fun, hands-on workshop that will explore the complex relationship between directors and actors. Students who have a passion for directing film and/or acting in film are encouraged to sign up for this event!

This workshop aims to bridge the communication gap between young directors and actors, while fostering an environment for personal and professional development for young people involved in film. Liz Anderson will encourage participants to learn by direct participation in hands-on activities, diving into the expectations and responsibilities that actors and directors have on set by trying out new roles. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a more empathetic understanding of how to work within a filmmaking team, something that is incredibly important for young filmmakers to understand as they learn and grow into the next generation of professional directors and actors!

Program runtime: 120 minutes
This workshop is intended for youth grades 8–12.
