Streaming Workshops

 

Our streaming workshops will be offered as an interactive experience

The workshop will be streamed with a multi-camera live edit at The Annoyance, directed by Ryan Puckett of How2Studios. The Directing workshop will have several actors/director-students who will be on-camera demonstrating and working with Mick. There will also be an interactive chat menu which will allow home participants to ask questions and participate from their computer.

Workshop Information

For the first time, Mick Napier will bring his popular Directing workshops to the internet where students may watch and participate live, online. Through the course of these workshops, Mick will cover the process of putting together a sketch comedy revue, from the 1st day of rehearsal to Opening. Topics covered in the series will be the first day of rehearsal, developing original material, impactful running orders, how and when to give notes, filling gaps in a show, balance, and bringing it to a fully- realized professional and funny production.

Directing #2

In this second of Mick Napiers Annoyance Directing Series, Mick explores the world of directing improvisation, both in performance and as a writing tool. He will explore long form, games, and creating material through improvisation. He will also explore professional intros and suggestion getting (gets) in order to bring the show up a notch. Finally, how to successfully manage various improv personalities is explored, in order to best create a productive overall experience.

More about Streaming

We will be shooting on HD broadcast quality equipment and uploading at the highest possible (businesss class) speed. Your experience, though, will depend on the stability of your internet connection, any low bandwidth or local internet issues, which unfortunately we cannot control. Make sure other applications are closed. For the best possible experience, make sure only one streaming window is open at a time.

To watch in full screen, click on the toggle full screen button located on the bottom right corner of the player. Depending on your screen size, watching in full screen mode might reduce image quality.

System Requirements

If you are able to watch videos on your computer at www.ustream.com, you should have no trouble watching this workshop.

Here's a test video to try with your system. The sound starts at :05 seconds

What if it doesn't work for me?

We get it! This is new for us, and there may be glitches. We'll be able to see what usernames are successfully logged in during the streaming. If it doesn't work for you, we'll refund your money!

Can I buy the video of the workshop?

We will be running the series of workshops several times, and will edit together a 'best-of' for purchase at a later date. So, yes, but it may be a little while before that is available.

Ok, I want to register!

Here you go!
