Process Intensive

Practice makes Permanence

Every actor is different. Tool Shop is where actors and teachers work together to discover which tools best enhance and aid each actor’s individual process.

This three-week bootcamp-style intensive will introduce the JRS philosophy and provide you with the foundation needed to thrive in our monthly Ongoing Classes. During these three weeks we take a deep dive into not only your process but into you as a human and into the way you are running your business – An all encompassing look at your entire way of operating as an actor.

We, as humans, function organically and authentically – impulse, intuition, instinct, thoughts. We want you to have the same level of authenticity from your character’s point of view. Tool Shop is where we explore this – in every genre – while identifying the obstacles that are keeping you from finding that authenticity and giving you practical tools to problem solve.

Whether you join us in Tool Shop in-person or online, we want to arm you with as many tools as possible TO BOOK THE JOB! If we can’t see you in-person, our zoom classes help you utilize your frame and be ready for your next zoom callback (a thing we know isn’t going anywhere!).
