Raging Bulls Actors Club

We meet every Sunday at 5:30 am on Elliots beach; each workshop is preceded by

search and script development by the core team, sometimes to the detail of shot div

and sometimes with on location improvisation in mind.

The Advanced Actors Workshop will tackle principles in acting such as script ana

character analysis, concentration, improvisation, proper use of ones voice, and sen

memory. Students will then get a chance to practice and showcase their skills by pe

formimg at the end of the workshop.

So far, the club has been more of a family who understand the problems of a non-co

mercial club, and we request our future members to join with the willingness to un

go the struggle required to get into the ilm industry.

A Club started for those who are seriously thinking of a career as an actor.

The Raging Bull actors club is a pure passion acting club. The name comes from ou

to act and to be outrageous. The club aims at tapping the acting talent among indiv

als, lushing out fear and providing a connection to the industry through the variou

personalities who visit our club to guide us and to audition for their ventures.

An Actor is one who gets into the soul o the character Marlon Br

les, as well as provide them with the proper tools to turn out stirring and memorable per-

here will also be training geared toward enhancement of the senses, the use of focus and

oncentration, observation, and most importantly, personal development. Our Workshop

tilises learning techniques that open up possibilities within each actor and salute the

asic vocal technique and the power of the voice. It is an intimate and dynamic class that
