Welcome to ActorWorksVancouver. Thank you for purchasing your workshop. If your workshop is about to expire in January, I am extending the time, because I'm just good like that. I also have another promotion going, so it works out. However, you MUST include in the first part of your subject heading in the email you WILL be sending me-- JAN 12th EXP. If you do not, and your coupon number comes up as expired when put in the system, you WILL LOOSE any further opportunity to take this workshop, and there are NO exceptions to this policy, whether you innocently forget or not...NO EXCEPTIONS. Please READ everything in this email. And please READ everything in the email you will receive upon registration. Once you register, you will be sent an automated email outlining what you need to prepare and you will then send an email with the necessary information. You should receive the automated email in minutes, depending upon the capacity of your computer and your mail program it could take longer, but you will receive it the day you register. If you do not receive the automated email--Please check your SPAM first--it is YOUR responsibility to contact ActorWorksVancouver so that we can then re-send you the same information. When registering on-line, please be CAREFUL and THOROUGH. Make sure your name and your email address is correct. Please make sure you register ONLY ONCE. If you register incorrectly or need to change the date (with-in 48 hours of course) please contact ActorWorksVancouver to have your registration removed or altered from the system. Please double check you are registering for the correct workshop. There are two types of workshops, both acting workshops, but one for actors and one for non-actors. The 'actors' acting workshop are for those individuals who have taken classes previously, or are currently working in the business or are working towards working in the business and have had some experience either on-set, on stage or in the class room. The 'non-actors' workshop is designed for all those individuals who have always wanted to try their hand at acting, and now, here's your CHANCE! It's also designed to broaden your experience, spark creativity and push your comfort level and build confidence. It's also designed for any individual who might be getting back into acting after a long stretch away and feel more comfortable taking the non-actor workshop. The format for the workshops are very similar, the major difference being the attendees themselves and the 'actor' workshops have the additional aspect of working with scenes emailed to the participants prior to the workshop from current film and television productions. I won't be 'giving away' the entire nature of the workshop, that would take away from the experience, but just know we will be working with the camera and also with exercises and of course with each other. Once you have signed up you will be receiving a confirmation email outlining what you need to prepare and provide. It is your responsibility to follow the instructions. Please note that failure to show up, cancelling less than 48 hours in advance of the workshop, arriving more than 15 minutes late will result in the forfeiture of your workshop. But I know none of you would dream of doing that, so please fill out your registration with particular attention to the 'type' of workshop. And one last order of business, please do bring your HST for our most fabulous government, the amount is 5.88, cash or check. Please make the check out to Anastasia Bandey-Actorworks, just think, you’re 5.88 cents is filling a pothole somewhere along the TransCanada Highway right now…in effect, you may have just saved a life!!! Thanks again, and prepare to have fun and be challenged. ~Anastasia
