 Backstage Actor: Minus a Frontstage Life: Champ Payne   Turning our dreams into our lives is our strongest desire, but what do we do instead? We hold ourselves back and settle for comfort. We’ve been cast as the lead actors, the Frontstage actors, in the story of our lives, but deep on the back of the stage we portray roles we’ve not been cast for. If you, for whatever reason, are making a conscious choice to live far below your creative capabilities, and are not living, or moving towards, the life of your dreams, then you’re a Backstage Actor. Backstage Actors may live nice lives but not the authentic and creative lives they’ve always dreamed of living- they’re not living Frontstage lives, and that’s the problem. In ‘Backstage Actor: Minus a Frontstage Life’ the author presents 50 Life Hacks to help dreamers like you turn your wildly creative dreams into your life. He draws from personal experience to challenge you to escape from the patterns of thought and behaviour that have all but tamed and crippled you. It’s a challenge to dream bigger dreams and to write an authentic and creative life story.  

This course focuses directly on what directors look for in actors. It helps everybody; an amateur actor wanting to develop their skills OR an accomplished actor who wants to brush up on their skills. It teaches you the tools needed, which all international and local actors are required to use and know. It allows the student to learn about acting in a realistic way which is similar to everyday life – since acting is about portraying an everyday slice of life in a realistic and naturalistic manner. I offer a version of this course for kids too. Benefits: • An intense learning experience of new techniques in front of like-minded people. • Total immersion in the craft of acting and going to auditions. • On-camera training within the first few days. • Personal strengths and weaknesses will be revealed for character development. • A professional working atmosphere. • You will become a better communicator and listener. • Viewing a role from a different perspective by encouraging you to think outside the box.

Directors look for specific aspects when directing actors. Throughout all my years being in the industry (27yrs) I have come up with a course which caters to those aspects directors are looking for. I have had numerous successes with this course and my students upon completion always go from strength to strength. Course Outline: Use of voice - warming up your voice; How to go to a casting - Preparation for a casting; Translate preparation into an on camera performance; Handling the call back and meeting the client. Tools of acting - business; status levels, listing skills, acting vs. Reacting, Character building - Different ways to approach characterization; Exercises aimed at physical and vocal transformation, including a detailed look at mannerisms, speech patterns, posture, gesture and clothing. Monologues/Duologues - How to analyze a scene using the following tools: Overall Objective; Scene Objective, Obstacles; Beats and Actions; Place and Fourth Wall; Inner Objects and Doings. Textual analysis - Modulation; Improvisation – Structured and Unstructured - as a vehicle for harnessing the power of the imagination, being spontaneous and collaborating with fellow actors. Memorizing of lines and blocking. The basics of acting technique, including finding motivation and uncovering subtext; Stanislavski techniques. One of my students after completing this course was featured on the Pharrell Williams "Happy" music video. He continues to get work and shine! Some of my other students have been featured on Ekasi, Sewende Laan just to name a few.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 12 working days Libya is teetering on the edge of collapse, having become a new haven for terrorist organizations and an epicenter of the refugee crisis. Few could have imagined that the uprising against the longstanding regime of Mu'ammar Al-Gaddafi would expose a polity deeply fractured by internal divisions. Fewer still could have predicted the intractability of the conflicts that emerged in the wake of this revolution. Jacob Mundy's Libya is the first book to explain the political, security, and humanitarian crises that have engulfed Libya - Africa's largest oil-exporting country - since the Arab Spring of 2011. Examining the roots of the anti-Gaddafi revolution and the failures that resulted in the country's descent into chaos, Mundy identifies new centers of power that coalesced in the wake of the regime's collapse. The more these rival coalitions vied for political authority and control over Libya's vast oil wealth, the more they reached out to external actors who were playing their own "great game" in Libya and across the region. In the face of such a multifaceted crisis, the future looks grim as the international community seems unable to bring peace to this divided and conflict-ridden nation. Features Summary Libya is teetering on the edge of collapse, having become a new safe haven for transnational terrorist organizations and the epicenter of the Mediterranean refugee crisis...
