- **Event Description**: Join us in person for the IAA Feb Workshop: explore marks, lenses, and how we live our truth together!About this EventMarks, Lenses, and Living TruthStop guessing on set — start owning the frame. This fast-paced, hands-on workshop teaches actors how to hit marks without losing truth, adjust performance for lens and framing, stay in focus and light, master eyelines, and move confidently with the camera. You’ll learn what directors, DPs, and editors actually need — and how to give it while staying fully in the moment.You’ll practice reaction holds, matching action, mic awareness, and camera movement in real on-camera setups — so nothing feels technical, stiff, or intimidating. Walk away sharper, faster, and more bookable, with the tools to deliver grounded performances that cut beautifully. ??We will work from this list.?
