NYC Workshop

MENTAL FOOD PERFORMANCE ARTS SCHOOL/CAMP

If you've heard it once you've heard it a thousand times. I want to be an actor. But what does that really take when you say that? It takes the discipline of character study, the knowledge of script, the charisma of a salesman and the confidence of a smart business person.

If you're a parent this program fills that gap between after school and when you get home. Where your child develops another option to round out their innate artistic traits. Not only an activity to be busy but one of value and growth.

Imagine being in a featured length or short film after dedicating yourself and realizing yours skills and craft for an end of year premier for all your friends and family to see.

Then have that film entered into a film festival!
