(directions provided upon registration)

SATURDAYS 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
MAY 7 - MAY 28

Learn from someone who has appeared in more forty Movies and TV shows!

Acting for camera uses a different set of skills than acting on stage. Charlie brings his experience in more than 40 movies and TV shows to this is a "nuts and bolts" class for actors at all levels who want to develop or improve their skills in front of the camera. The first half of each class is spent explaining and practicing various special problems confronting the film/TV actor, such as: hitting the mark, finding your light, overlaps, set protocol, stunt work, etc. In the second half of each class, participants work from movie and TV scripts using those techniques. As class size is limited to a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 new students,    pre-registration is required to ensure a spot.     Don't wait; the last class sold out quickly!

About choosing a class . . . 

Although tuition for Charlie's classes at the Mosaic Acting studio is very reasonable,  when deciding whom you want to study with there are a lot more things to consider than just the price.   The first thing I do is look up the instructor on IMDb.com.  That will tell me what they have actually done.   Do their credits consist of a couple of independent films that they wrote and/or directed?  Have they only been in "kid shows" on Nickelodeon or Disney?  Is their background only in theater?  I want to work with someone who has worked with major directors and has appeared with "A list" actors. There is a reason why Charlie Holliday has been voted Sacramento's Outstanding Training Resource for Actors time after time.

The Screen Actors Guild has taken a huge step forward down the path toward merger with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The guild's national board of directors voted unanimously on Saturday to create a merger task force to work with AFTRA.

The board's resolution instructed the task force "to meet with representatives of AFTRA as soon as practicable, but no later than June 2011, to initiate the development of a plan to create a successor union formed from the best elements of both SAG and AFTRA." SAG president Ken Howard will lead the task force.

San Francisco Film Festival Closing Evening This Thursday, May 5th - Few figures loom larger in the annals of 20th-century style than Yves Saint Laurent. Barely out of his teens when he was appointed head of the House of Dior, he triumphantly launched his own brand only a few short years later. For decades he epitomized the jet-set lifestyle, dressing its luminaries and sharing their giddy excesses. Visual artist Pierre Thoretton's first feature captures the well-known highs and lows of this remarkable but also stormy career: Yves Saint Laurent l'Amour Fou documents a crazy love for all things beautiful.
