Course Overview
The HubStudio is thrilled to welcome back AACTA and Logie award winning actor Joel Jackson for a special online masterclass. Actors will deep dive into scene work, intense monologue investigation, character creation and business skills to survive the industry. Created by Joel himself, this six week long intensive is created with the intention to build your acting chops, match fitness, script analysis, harness your creativity, share industry insight and ensure you’re set to soar.
Six sessions of three hour live webinar conferences including specific, tailored individual scene and monologue work for six weeks.
The requirements each week will be to get up on the floor and ACT. Learn by doing, exploring and creating work you can be proud of. Scenes will be rehearsed and filmed each week in a self test format, then also performed live over Zoom with your fellow classmates to replicate the new norm of casting via Self Tapes and Zoom Calls. It’s about building camera awareness, your ability to put your best foot forward in a casting scenario while also focusing on driving towards the actor you want to become. Prepared monologues will also be an essential learning investigation and cold reads on the day are set to hone your scene analysis skills, challenge your creative impulses and build confidence.
Actors will also be required to watch a film or read a play as “group homework” to be analysed and reviewed in the group conference at the end of each week. The discussions around the film/play will focus on performance analysis, character portrayal, use of technique and “what if’s”; an opportunity for actors to visualise themselves in the shoes of these great roles, building your imaginative skills and technical awareness.
Course Outline

- An increased awareness of the industry and how best to navigate the intricacies of the entertainment industry.
