In an effort to continue to educate and improve the artistic process RSP is dedicating April as education and training month. RSP will offer four specific workshops to actors and performers in the Sacramento area.

COLD READING

This workshop will teach the skills needed in auditions (both for television and film and stage) for the actor to work with scripts and other written materials that they encounter in the audition process. Actors will learn how to handle, manipulate and work with the paper in their hands and not let it steal their audition. They will learn skills that will help them work with other actors on stage or in a reading, and the tricks of the trade to make the best first impression and show off their talents as a professional actor. In addition, there will be a section of the class devoted to the resume and how it speaks for the actor before the actor speaks.

So you ask – what is “period” clothing. The answer is - a style of clothing that evokes a certain period or decade of time. Specifically, we are looking for clothing of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s – also, ball gowns and prom dresses of any period. We are also looking for men’s suits and formal wear.
