Interesting Laban experiences?

Hey y’all, a technique I’ve had some training in is Laban. It’s been very useful to me as an actor that can have trouble with emotional availability, and it’s pretty diversely applicable. I’ve used it in Chekhov, Modern plays, and most recently a Shakespeare...

Which strip club scene should we do for a play/production?

I'm directing a play/theater production at my college and have run into a dilemma. The play requires a scene showing a strip club...it doesn't matter which, but it either has to be a male strip club or a female strip club. That means either a group of male...

How exactly would you deal with another actor who is dismissive and even passive agressive towards you?

I'm acting on camera for the first time on a very amateur student short film, I accepted because I wanted to get the experience. The actress playing the main role was nice but somewhat aloof, I didn't think much about it until we talked about our acting...

How to get reps as an actor?

Stand ups and improvisers can get on stage every night and do a show but actors have to prepare more and shows don't seem as immediate. Auditions? Classes? Small theater?

A million apologies if this is misplaced; what if I don’t want to be an actor but want to take acting classes? Do those exist?

First off, I have the utmost respect for actors; it’s a tough craft and it looks easy until it’s painfully obvious someone that someone can’t act. Why do I want to take acting classes? I moonlight as a writer, and I’ve heard anecdotes of acting classes...

Actors who have moved to Toronto/Vancouver/NY/LA- at what point in your career did you relocate?

I'm still pretty new to acting- I've been doing this for less than a year. Where I live, I have a really well paying, flexible job, there is far less "competition" here (I hate that notion, I just mean there are fewer actors in my category) and a relatively...

Student actor, rejected from production directed by friends. Am I right to feel slighted?

I feel really silly typing this, but I need to vent at the moment, and I feel there are people here older/more experienced than me who can talk me out of this slump. I never acted in school, but when I got to college I threw myself into it because I always...

I feel like this might be a scam

I have no idea if it's a scam or not. They claim to be a talent agency in the seattle/spokane area knows as MAM or Mitchell Actors and Models. I can't find anything wrong so far, which is what really freaks me out. I am not trustworthy of the internet at all...
