The Mark Travis Tucson Actor Boot Camp scheduled for Sept 11-13 IS CANCELLED :(
I must announce the cancellation of the Mark Travis Actor BootCamp scheduled for Sept 11-13. Sadly there were not enough actors and directors ready to participate in the workshop at this time. I know how disappointed the students will be, how they had made plans, and most of all I am personally disappointed that I cannot have a chance to attend the BootCamp workshop myself. Payments will be refunded and apologies offered to those who have already signed up.
In consolation -- we can still meet anyway the Cholla Room at Hotel Arizona the evening of September 11, 2009, 6:00pm to 9:00 pm, for a
Free workshop rehearsal. There will be a scene from Notting Hill and we will work on Staging, Character Work, etc. This way we can accept Mark's advice in earlier workshops --- that local Tucson directors and actors get together and practice Mark's techniques ---- in the newly-minted TUCSON ACTORS WORKSHOP.
Finally, if you missed earlier workshops and want to get a taste of Mark's brilliant technique, he will be hosting a 3-hour lecture Friday, September 25th, 2009, 4 PM - 7 PM at the Aero Theatre located at 1328 Montana Ave (at 14th Street) in Santa Monica, CA 90403-1710. The cost is free, courtesy of the LA Irish Film Festival. Also, see http://markwtravis.com/ for his schedule of full workshop tour dates.
