Workshop Placement
Each potential student is ask to interview
and read with Carolyne Barry before signing
up for a workshop(s). This is to determine
what the actor needs to work on and which
workshop and level will best serve them. Also,
if requested, Ms. Barry will design an individualized
6 month to one year program for the student.
Auditing
Potential students can audit Acting and Commercial
workshops one time. The Improvisation workshops
allow no auditing (except for the Performance
Improv I and II shows that is done at the
end of each workshop).
Once an actor gives their deposit for a class
they can audit the Acting and Commercial workshops
as often as they like.
Deposit Policy
All workshops require a $ 100 deposit. The
balance can be paid the first night, either
in full or in two payments. (One check for
1/2 the balance dated the first night, and
one check for the other 1/2 of the balance
will be postdated for the date of the fourth
class.)
Students will be called by the class assistant
two weeks before the start date of the workshop
and will be confirmed. Once the student is
confirmed , their deposit check will be deposited.
If the student chooses to cancel out of the
class in the next six days, their check will
be credited to the next session of that class
(and the next session only). They will lose
their depositf if they cancel
out seven days prior to the start of the class or do not attend the first night.
First Night
If the student is unable to attend the first
night of their workshop, they must send the
balance of the money due to Carolyne Barry,
five days prior to the start of the workshop
or lose their deposit and place in the class.
Make-up Classes
To insure there is never more than the designated
number of students in a class, officially,
there is no guaranteed make-up classes. But
if the student shows up in an upcoming session
for the Commercial or Improvisation workshop
(Not the Scene Study and only the first six
classes of the Performance Improv) that was
missed and one or two of the registered students
are not in attendance and the teacher is not
dealing with a major problem that is overly
time consuming, then the student can do a
make-up. (About 80 % of the time there is
at least one missing student. So the chances
of making up a class are good, BUT students
are encouraged to try not to miss. Training
consistently does the most to serve the acting
process and development.)
If a few people show to make up a class and
there is only one available spot than the
students can either decide who will get it
or split the class. And if the class is at
capacity, they can audit and try again.
Missing Classes
Whenever, a student has to be late or miss
a class, they must call the Class Assistant
(ideally at least an hour before the class).
Besides, that it is professional and courteous,
it helps the teacher to pace the class and
not be concerned that anything may have happened
to the missing student.
Follow Up Classes
Once you have completed any of the Commercial
or the Improvisation workshops, and if you
would like to stop in and take a class, (even
if you never missed any), you are invited
back. For no cost, once an eight week session
and only if there is a paid student(s) not
in attendance, you can participate in the
level or a lower level of the commercial class
in which you were a student. And if you participated
in either of the Performance Improv workshops,
you can work in the Intro Improv class.
Guarantee
If, for any reason, you choose to cancel
out of the class after the first night, (except
for the Packaging Class) you have 24 hours
to contact Carolyne Barry in writing and your
balance will be refunded. After that first
24 hours you can not cancel out of any workshop.
Class Time
The classes start at
7:00 p.m and end around 11:00 (Mon - Thurs
nights) and on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m.
