WORKSHOPS
DABB
These sessions are designed to give actors genuine insight into the world of Casting Directors for Film, TV, and Theatre, as well as Agents, Directors, Voiceover, Motion Capture (MoCap), and Performance Capture (P-Cap).
Each workshop offers a safe, supportive, and dynamic environment to explore, grow, and refine your craft. They’re not about auditioning for a role or securing an agent, they’re about developing your skills, gaining practical industry knowledge, and growing as an artist in a space that values creativity, care, and
community.
To ensure a professional and supportive environment for actors, facilitators, and industry members, we adhere to the CDG guidelines outlined here: CDG Workshop Guidelines

FAQ 1) How does payment work? Once you fill out the form, we will review your booking and send you an invoice with the workshops you’ve requested. Payment must be made within the timeframe given, otherwise your place may be released to someone else. 2) Is there material to prepare? Yes. About 5–6 days before your workshop date, you’ll receive material to prepare. 3) What is your refund policy? Please refer to our refund policy specific to our workshops via our terms and conditions page. 4) Who are the workshops for? Our workshops are designed for professional actors, recent graduates, and actors actively working towards building their careers. They are open to anyone from any background. 5) Do I need an agent or Spotlight to attend? No. Our workshops are open to all actors, whether you’re represented or self-submitting. 6) Can I book more than one workshop? Yes, absolutely. You can book as many as you’d like, subject to availability. 7) How many people are in each workshop? We keep numbers small to ensure everyone gets proper time, attention, and feedback. Usually between 10–14 participants, depending on the facilitator. 8) Will I get 1-to-1 time with the facilitator? Yes. All participants work directly with the facilitator in the workshop. Time is shared across the group, but you’ll get tailored feedback on your work. 11) Will I be considered for castings by attending? While our workshops are a brilliant opportunity to meet industry professionals, they are not auditions. They’re focused on training and networking — however, you never know what doors might open. 12) Do you provide travel or accommodation support? Travel and accommodation are not included, so please factor that in when booking.

The intent of the workshop is educational and should not be considered a job interview or audition. Attending workshops is not a way to obtain employment as an actor. It is a learning / educational experience. The presence of a Casting Director/ Agent or Director is neither a guarantee nor a promise of employment. Contact with an industry person at a workshop rarely results in any further contact with that industry person or any company affiliated with that industry person.
