Join us for our weekly Acting/Improv Class @ La Luz every Wednesday from 8pm-10pm! Explore the possibilities of yourself. What does your mind hold that your spirit has yet to release? Express yourself to the highest power with words, movement, interaction and internal discovery. It is a noncompetitive, supportive environment where both actors and non-actors are welcome. This class incorporates movement-based exercises, and group exercises to explore the primary fundamentals of improvisation, mak …

Check us out at http://www.acersnyc.c... This is not a class. We're actors working together to provide each other with support on auditions and on goal setting. We provide a venue where you can take the techniques you learned in class and put them to use in preparation for an audition, whether it be for an agent, casting director, or manager. We provide suggestions after a performance, but they are merely suggestions, which you are free to accept or not. Ultimately, the choices you make for a p …

Welcome to the Hudson Valley Actors and Wannabes! I'm hoping to find 10 to 15 people who would be interested in joining me in forming an extraordinary acting class. Carol Fox Prescott is a phenomenal acting teacher. She teaches in NYC and Woodstock. She likes the idea of teaching in New Paltz, but doesn't know enough people in the area yet. If you enjoy acting or if you'd like to learn how to act, you'll love her class. Carol's class has made a tremendous difference in my life both on and off th …

This Meetup is for people who are interested in getting together to read Shakespeare's plays out loud. Each person will take one (or more!) parts and we will act them out. At each meetup, we'll take one of his plays (chosen at the previous meetup and announced on the Meetup's website), assign parts and run with it. Be funny, be dramatic, have fun!

This is for anyone who ever wanted to play Hamlet--without the pretensions or the acting ability. First, we'll decide on a play, and then after discussing themes and underlying ideas, we'll cast it and read it out loud--as it the play were a script--which it is--and not a text. I'd like to discover Shakespeare, from the inside out. You don't have to Gielgud or even Mel Gibson. It will be fun to hear Shakespeare's words in our mouths.

The purpose of this group is to get together a great group of talented, highly motivated actors who want to work on scenes and possibly creating new projects together simply for the love of acting. Why can't a group of people work on plays together outside of a classroom environment which can be costly and repetitive? Let's meet once a week to work on scenes, give each other the opportunity to engage in the art that we love and inspire one another.

Have you ever felt like you lost an amazing opportunity because of lack of courage & confidence to speak in the right moment? Have you ever felt unappreciated and wished others saw your true value, value which you know you possess? Do you ever let fear hold you back from sharing your opinion or asking for what you feel you deserve? Would you like to feel confident on the stage of your life like an actor feels on the stage of a theater no matter what role he plays? If you answered YES to any or a …

This is a group for anyone who wants to learn how to produce the sounds that make up an accent. Actors auditioning for accent roles are welcome, as well as comedians who want to add credibility to their acts. If you've ever wanted to learn how to do any accent, we'd love to help! We will meet once a month for two hours in a fun and informal setting. Bring a pen and paper, and the three accents you'd like to learn. Think of it like a party at the United Nations!

Calling all rising artists, who are passionate about their art, whether it is acting, modeling, singing, dancing, photography, make up, painting, you name it and SERIOUS about connecting and building their businesses! There is a certain life-affirming, passionate synergy when like-minded people get together, creating magical experiences! As a Professional Performer's Life/Business Coach, I'm inviting you to connect, develop your careers, build true friendships, and have fun with us! Try out coac …

A Painter needs only a paintbrush and a canvas; a musician needs only two turntables and a microphone! Yet to be a filmmaker it seems thousands of dollars are needed to make something that nobody is going to see anyway or to be an actor you must wait for someone else to give you exposure. If you're one of those people waiting around for financing to come through so you can make or star in Citizen Kane II that's cool, I'm not. This organization is for people who have stories to tell and opinion …

This is a supportive community for people interested in the world of voice acting. Welcome to voice over artists and those who want to learn about this field.

This group is being started to cull talent for modeling, acting, editing, sound, props, writing and everything in between. Unlike most meet-ups we are not just going to sit around and talk about it...or go watch a movie or show...we are going to be about it. We will be making short and feature film, print work such as publicity catalog and calender shoots. All forms of talent are desired, but you must be as serious as we are, slackers and no-shows will be booted. We will never ask you to pay f …

LIFE IS AN ECHO. What you send out – comes back. What you sow – you reap. What you give – you get. What you see in others – exists in you. Do not judge – so you will NOT be judged. Radiate and give LOVE – and Love comes back to you. ~ Zig Ziglar It's not happy people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy. ~ Unknown What is LIFE OUT LOUD? Our philosophy is simple ... be positive, inclusive, supportive and really enjoy the moments and memories we are building together. Life is too …

There are many contests out there. I'm looking to put a group of people who want to expand their network while learning more by doing. This isn't a boring talk only group. All are welcome that have a pure desire to act, write scripts, or improve their video photography skills. We want laid back people who are great team players. We are going to keep things simple at first. But we definitely need actors, script writers, storyboard artist, lighting staff, stage managers, costume designers, art dir …

Orders We Will Not Obey “The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army” – Gen. George Washington, to his troo …

Calling all would-be and actualized writers for stage and screen! Calling all improv'ers, actors, and those who are interested in trying dramatic improv for the first time! **** We also need a videographer **** The Plan: Writers come with the basics of a scene they have in mind. They know what takes place and who the characters are. It can be any genre. The actors (the writers themselves can be actors, if they wish) take the stage and improv the scene, following the plot points that the writer h …

In Nov 2012, Hao Chen stepped up to keep this meetup alive. The following description is from the ex-organizer: History/why I want to do this: As a young engineer in the late 90s/early 2000s I went to some loosely organized lunches with various industry pros, all architect/senior level working for many big names back then. Amazing things were discussed. It totally pierced my mind. Now, fast forward to 2012,  I want to get everyone together to discuss tech, over some good food :) I want to keepin …

A movement empowering New Yorkers to do more of the things they love by recharging through meditation, a practical way to refresh every day, invented thousands of years ago. Reinvented in 2011. In 2013, IMeditateNY is going nonvio - supporting a nation-wide campaign by the Art of Living Foundation in raising awareness to the power of nonviolence. In the US alone, 10 million crimes (acts of violence) are reported each year. For each act of violence, we pledge 100 acts of nonviolence, making the v …

In a Playback Theatre meetup, group members briefly share important moments from their lives (sometimes on a theme). Other members then "play back" the emotional essence of the story they just heard using movement, music, metaphor, dialogue... Together we often laugh, cry, get new insights about our lives, and feel heard and connected. As "actors" we also learn how to be more free and expressive and how to listen deeply and accurately. All are welcome, whether you're an experienced actor or impr …

Hey there! If you are a person that likes to dabble in video/filmmaking, this is the group for you. Whether you've just purchased your first camera, or you've been making/editing videos for a while now just for fun, this group is intended to give novices like myself a chance to meet like-minded and driven people, who make videos/films for fun rather than marketing or other professional purposes.

If you are interested in coordinating this event and/or already are coordinating it via another site such as Facebook please contact me and I will make you a MeetUp organizer immediately. Thanks! The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct protest by American Colonists demanding representation in the British Government. They became known as the original patriots. The New Boston Tea Party of 2009 and Tea Parties all across America will reinvigorate that American and Patriotic spirit; one that deman …

We meet at the Sony Plaza at 550 Madison (between 55th and 56th) every first Saturday of the month at 2pm. We talk about why our best logic, experience, physics, (yes, even quantum mechanics) psychology and neuroscience all point to the inescapable conclusion that human beings DO NOT have a free will; we have a predetermined, causal will. What makes free will impossible?  Logically, because everything happens for a reason, and every reason has a prior reason.  Experientially, the simple fact tha …

This Meetup has been created to serve as a place for Rhode Island's Ron Paul supporters to gather, plan, and communicate during the 2011-2012 presidential primary season. And after Ron Paul has won the nomination we will continue on through the election to help get him elected. We plan to actively promote Ron Paul's campaign by various methods as we did in 2008. The individual spirit embodied in Dr. Paul's message will carry over into this group so while we may act as a group we will also act as …

The aim of this Manhattan-based group is to serve as a social outlet for creativity, and to produce fun-to-watch short films of acceptable quality for the film festival circuit. No experience necessary! We may not produce as impressive a product as we want, but we’ll make movies, learn a lot, and we’ll have fun. Films will be written and directed by its members, and we’ll decide collectively which will be the next project. Any collective, and certainly this one, will require frequent compromise, …

The daily lives of most of us are full of things that keep us busy and preoccupied with mundane concerns. We miss the sacred, so every now and then we find ourselves drawing-back and wondering what is it all about. And then. perhaps we may internally begin exploring perennial questions that we don't normally stop to examine. This can happen with regard to any aspect of our lives. This study group is deliberately designed for those among us who are curious, enthusiastic, non-judgemental, and wond …
