THE BRIDGE

The Bridge at the Michael Laskin Studio is a class that has been created specifically for young artists coming out of actor-training programs who are seeking actionable career guidance, an expanded post-college community of artists, and real-world connectivity to the pursuit of their career goals and dreams. It seeks to “bridge” the gap between training, and a professional career.

In short, it’s for those who are discovering the challenge of integrating into the film and television industry. It asks the questions:
​
  • What’s next?
  • What do I do first?
  • How do I keep my sanity in the midst of all this?!
  • How do I secure representation?
  • And VERY importantly, how do I hold onto my artistry while trying to navigate all this?

The Bridge is a combination of practical career strategies, camera work, coupled with ongoing artistic efforts (i.e. scene study) to help you remember what sparked your creativity in the first place!
