  • DAY 1 :: SOCIAL MEDIA BASICS

    The Basics class is all day Saturday, from 9am – 5pm. We will lay the foundation of your social media presence, and demystify all the hoopla around twitter, facebook, your actor website, and the like.

    It will be interactive, so bring your laptop. We will simplify everything, and make sure you leave with all of your profiles set up and understood, a clear understanding of how to start (or edit) your website, and other very clear action items to move forward utilizing technology.

    Your time is valuable, and social media can be daunting. We will make it all super simple, so that you not only have the tools to book more work, get representation, and propel your career forward but also know exactly how to use those tools.

    Technology is also an incredible resource for organization and productivity. We will go over best practices for this, and create some very simple ways to better utilize your time and energy.

  • DAY 2 :: ADVANCED SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY & TECHNIQUES

    The Advanced class is all day Sunday, from 9am – 5pm. This is where we really get into some cool stuff.

    For this class we get into the nitty gritty, the nuanced, the success secrets. As you know, simply being on twitter, or posting on facebook doesn’t necessarily produce results. The Advanced seminar is all about results. How to get an agent, meet producers, build an audience, promote your play, and/or raise money for your project. We will get into advanced strategies with your website, email newsletters, and your entire online presence. Knowing what to do is half the battle, and once we’re clear on that we’ll figure out exactly how to implement these strategies.

    This will be very a very individualized class, because just like every actor needs a unique headshot, each actor also needs a unique online presence. We will figure out the best use of your time in this arena.

    Beyond all this, we will also focus on how to get the most out of your technological tools with the least effort. If you can spend 12 hours a day interacting on twitter, great! But if you’re like me you have limited time and need to be efficient and productive. Come learn how.
