One to one Creative Artist session with Giles Terera

This is an online class happening over Zoom.

Giles is excited to be offering free weekly online 1 on 1 creative artists sessions throughout June in collaboration with the New Actors Centre. If you are a recent graduate (or even not so recent) and you'd like to extend your creative process, go over audition speeches or songs, discuss a career in the performing arts or ask anything about life as a creative, book one of the weekly half hour sessions and let's get to work. Limited availability.
