SCENE STUDY WORKSHOP - 2 NIGHT COMMITMENT:  Tues & Wed, Sept 18 & 19
Presented by Del Shores
Windy City Performs Guest Artist Series

Del loves his scene study workshops because he gets to do what he loves most - direct actors! This workshop is a place where you push yourself, choosing the scenes that challenge you!

You may sign up with a scene partner (Del loves it when you do that!) or you may sign up solo and ask him to choose your partner (10 days before the workshop). The goal - get outside your comfort zone.  If you have a scene partner, please email us so we can notify Del in advance of the workshop:  email@windycityperforms.org

You will choose the scene together. It should be no longer than 10 minutes and IT SHOULD CHALLENGE YOU. You will choose the scene together. It should be no longer than 10 minutes and IT SHOULD CHALLENGE YOU.  He will then direct you. The goal? To make that next break-through in your acting. Stronger choices, taking risks, being a fool, getting rid of those nerves, claiming your star power. And of course, a little career advice and inspiration. You will learn as much or more by watching your fellow actors -- and Del promises, there is going to be some amazing work in this one!

WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT  DEL'S WORKSHOPS:

"Del Shores is where I go to balance my creative PH. I constantly recommend his workshops and reel shoots to my actors - all ages! When I take one of his workshops, (and I've taken countless) I always feel creatively rejuvenated, like I've been to a spa for the child in my soul. You will laugh and cry, and always walk away feeling nurtured, challenged, and ready to attack your career. Can't recommend him enough!" - Nancy Chartier Acting Coach, Nancy Chartier Studios

"I have been a film acting coach in Dallas for 22 years. The first time I ever saw a Del Shores workshop I knew I had to ask him to come back from L.A. to work with my actors. Del has a wonderfully intuitive, creative, caring mind and has the unique ability to evoke emotions and performances from all actors, no matter their current skill level."  - Michele Condrey Acting Coach; The Michele Condrey Studio R.E.A.C.T.
