Hi!
Joshua Finkel here. I am the creator and director of the ANMT Perfomers’ Workshop. The next round of classes will be starting up soon, featuring the annual Performers’ Workshop Cabaret event at the M Bar in Hollywood. This performance is the culmination of the winter session Level 1 class entitled GETTING YOUR ACT TOGETHER which concentrates on Cabaret and Specialty Material Performance Technique.
I hope you’ll have a look at the video below, which is from my introduction to last year’s M Bar event.
Auditions for the next round of sessions for adults and teens will take place on November 2, 2008 from 2-6pm.
