We are super excited to have DigitasLBi Chicago as hosts for one of our teaching sessions. If you want to get better at problem solving, creating content using SAG Actors, or design a new career, these 50 minute classes are for you. You get access to two interactive classes from July 14th, 2014 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm.
The Business of Show
Teachers: SAG-AFTRA actor Troy Pryor
Kathy Byrne, Director of TV/Theatrical for SAG-AFTRA Chicago
Class #1 6:40pm – 7:30 pm
Creating your own content? It’s not as easy as just writing a script, piecing together a cast and crew, grabbing a camera and shooting! It’s about professionals working with professionals after all…it is called Show Business not Show Art. This workshop will introduce you to the world of professional SAG-AFTRA actors and the many low budget Agreements that SAG-AFTRA has to offer filmmakers. There are Agreements for shorts, features, webisodes – you name it! Actors and filmmakers alike will find this information to be invaluable. Please join SAG-AFTRA actor Troy Pryor and Kathy Byrne, Director of TV/Theatrical for SAG-AFTRA Chicago.
Designing Creativity: The Science of Creative Thinking
Teachers: Designation
Class #2 7:40pm – 8:30 pm
Do better work by applying basic scientific principles to your creative process. This interactive workshop starts with a discussion of the way evolution tries to make us fundamentally unoriginal, along with strategies to actively disrupt that instinct. Then we’ll move on to a dynamic group brainstorming session to apply those principles.
