Building upon theatrical performance techniques, we will explore how to harness your BIGGEST ENERGY onto the screen. Learn how to hit your mark each time, how to stick the landing on your character arc, and how to both engage and ignore that funny little fly-on-the-wall that is a camera lens. Additionally, learn straight from Lily about being a working actor during a Q and A!
