I took the seminar with Justin Huff on Wednesday evening. I didn't realize the impact of Justin's instruction until watching the videos of myself which I just received. With a couple of minor adjustments and more specific motivations added in...the difference between the first take of the song and the last is like night and day. I didn't realize how clearly specific thoughts could translate onto my face and into the storytelling of the piece. The class was a very valuable experience, and I hope to incorporate Justin's advice into everything that I sing from now on. Thanks!

As a dancer, acting is something I would also love to do but don't know as much about. Sean was wonderful and gave me so much knowledge about commercial auditions as well as film that I wouldn't have known. I feel much more ready to audition for commercials that I had before, and am very inspired to do so. He really showed us the importance of how large/small actions and body language need to be, and informed us how to best be the character. Also seeing and reading from sides and being on camera was a huge prep for us and now we can be more comfortable in auditions. I am very appreciative for Sean as well as SDC for the opportunity.

I have taken two other workshops from Stage Door Connections, but this one was one of my favorites. Abbey helped me focus on the meaning and the intentions behind each little movement, instead of simply dancing because that is the choreography. She inspired me so much as a dancer to appreciate the power of simplicity in dance and to remind us how we are all artists that are able to create beautiful movements (for example, the partner or the box activity). I feel so fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to learn from her. In those 2 hours she helped me feel so much more confident as a dancer and storyteller.
