WORKSHOP FORMAT

In this online workshop, Shakyra will send out prepared scenes for you to self-tape before the class - we will send your Spotlight CV to Shakyra so that she can tailor the scene to suit you. You will then submit your take of the scene via a shared Dropbox.

There will then be a live Zoom session where each self-tape will be shown to the whole class and Shakyra will give her feedback live. There will be time at the end for a Q&A.
