Process Intensive
YOUR ACTING PATH CONTINUES
Practice makes Permanence
Prerequisite: Group or One-on-One Consultation
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!).

Commitment
3 Weeks
5 hours each class
Rehearsals and homework required
During these three weeks you will:
- Work on multiple genres: Multi Camera Comedy, Single Camera Comedy, One Hour Drama, and more.
- Look at how you’re running your acting business.
- Do a deep dive of how you operate as a human: You can’t be an expert in a character’s point of view if you’re not an expert in your own.
- Learn to look at the page differently: Text analysis & how to ask the right questions.
