SUMMARY:John in Cleveland!
DESCRIPTION:John in Cleveland \n\n\n\nJune 9 – 11\, 2023 \n\n\n\nDescription:  JDAW is back this Summer with acting classes for youths\, teens\, and adults!   \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE  \n\n\n\nFRIDAY\, JUNE 23rd\n\n\n\nMAGIC RECTANGLE\n\n\n\nYOUTH Class| Age Range: 6-11 | Duration: 11:00 AM-1:00 PMTEEN Class| Age Range: 12-18 | Duration: 1:30-4:00 PMADULT  Class| Age Range: 18+ | Duration: 5:30-8:00 PM\n\n\n\nThis is the class that helped launch many careers. Take all the confusion out of your auditions and learn how to perform for the camera. The Magic Rectangle is John’s camera technique for delivering dynamic and indelible on-camera performances. John’s simple camera math will immediately improve student’s taped auditions by imposing structure on the imaginary canvas of the fourth wall that exists around the camera. This is a great place to start if you have not previously trained with John and was his first signature class. He’s taught it to thousands of actors across the country as well as in Hollywood. Get ready for your taped auditions to dramatically improve! \n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, JUNE 24TH\n\n\n\nACTIVE INTERROGATION\n\n\n\nTEEN Class| Ages 12-18 | 11:00 AM-1:00 PMADULT Class | Ages 18+ | 4:00-6:00 PM\n\n\n\nSimply put\, this course will make you a better actor and take it to the next level. Acting Interrogation is John’s signature technique that infuses true human reaction into scripted lines. Actors typically experience a disconnect between how they would organically respond versus how they respond to a line of dialogue that they were anticipating. This technique can be taught to young actors as well as adults. It applies the instinctive human traits that you use everyday to determine everything from whether you’re hungry to whether or not you are in danger. The great thing is\, you’re already doing it! You’re just not applying it to your scripted work. John guarantees that if you practice this technique\, your craft will rise to the next level and beyond. If you’re ready to up your game\, don’t miss this class.  \n\n\n\nVIXENS\, VILLAINS\, & VOLDEMORTS: BECOMING THE VILLIANADULT Class| Ages 18+ | 1:30-3:30 PM\n\n\n\nOften\, the Hero isn’t the most interesting character. The people we remember are the Villains! You know\, the people we love to hate? But what makes a villain a villain? Why do we hate them? Why do they seem to be having so much fun being evil? In this course\, we’ll dive into the background\, archetypes\, psychology\, and nuances of these wonderfully\, horrible characters and let you work on scenes with some psychotic and iconic antagonists. Tap into your ability to be evil\, cunning and despicable and have a blast doing it! \n\n\n\nTHE ACTOR’S ENVIRONMENT\n\n\n\nADULT Class | Ages 18+ | 6:00-8:00 PM\n\n\n\nEXT. GRAVEYARD – NIGHT. The cold breeze cuts to the bone. The spirits are restless and this will be a night like none other. For this is the night of the Reckoning.” – Are you interested\, yet? Scared? Can you feel the cold wind? Do you see the strange clouds cutting across the moon? Are you shivering from the cold\, the fear or both? Well… what if that’s the environment of the audition you are about to tape? Are you allowing the environment to affect your character? What if we change the location to Key West in August. How does the oppressive heat and humidity affect the mood of your character as you await the next big storm? Can you feel the weight of what lies ahead and does it fill you with trepidation? Well\, it’s our job to feel… everything! It’s what we get paid to do. Most actors don’t even allow the environment to affect their character\, their behavior and their choices. Most actors\, of course\, don’t work. Working actors know that the key element that the great writers impose the environment upon the characters. How will you incorporate that into your character for the scene? Whether it’s an interior or exterior\, busy city or desert landscape\, the environment informs the actor. Learn how to become the character living truthfully in their environment and bring your auditions to life! \n\n\n\nPRICING\n\n\n\n\nEach Individual Class: $150\n\n\n\nTEEN Two Class Combo Pack: $250\n\n\n\nADULT Two Class Pack: $250\n\n\n\nADULT Four Class Pack: $450\n\n\n\n\nIf purchasing any of the discounted class packages\, please visit HERE.

SUMMARY:John at Catapult Atlanta!
DESCRIPTION:To register for classes\, please visit https://catapultacting.com/events/john-daquino-workshop-series/ \n\n\n\nJohn returns to Catapult Acting Studios with classes and new Masterclasses! \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE  \n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, APRIL 22ND\n\n\n\nMagic Rectangle | Ages 10-16 | 9 AM-11:30 AM\n\n\n\nWe are told that acting is best done “in the moment.” Yet\, acting for the camera means that the moment must unfold within the eye of the camera or run the risk of not being seen. There’s not much value in a discovery that is not appreciated by an audience. This course will apply John’s Magic Rectangle technique to each scene\, exploring the physical and emotional values available on the 4th Wall. John will then introduce his concept of the 5th Wall to enhance the experience. \n\n\n\nDynamic Disney + Nick | Ages 10-16 | 12:00 PM-2:30 PM\n\n\n\nDisney and Nickelodeon require a special energy that is not only dynamic and lively\, but is grounded in the show’s reality. Often\, actors think this means to “overact” or “ham it up”. This is NOT the case! Learn how to build believable characters in the genre\, identify specific characteristics of notable character tropes\, and how to bring your authentic self to it! \n\n\n\nActive Interrogation | Ages 10-16 | 3:00 PM-5:30 PM\n\n\n\nActing Interrogation is a technique\, developed by John D’Aquino\, that infuses true human reaction into scripted lines. Actors typically experience a disconnect between how they would organically respond versus how they respond to a line of dialogue they were anticipating. This technique illuminates human traits that you use every day that you may not understand how to employ in your work. The great thing is\, you’re already doing it! You’re just not bringing it to your work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, APRIL 23RD\n\n\n\nMASTERCLASS: Villains\, Scoundrels\, and Voldemorts: Becoming the Villain | Ages 10-16 | 10:00 AM-2:00 PM\n\n\n\nOften\, the Hero isn’t the most interesting character. The people we remember are the Villains! You know\, the people we love to hate? But what makes a villain a villain? Why do we hate them? Why do they seem to be having so much fun being evil? In this course\, we’ll dive into the background\, archetypes\, psychology\, and nuances of these wonderfully\, horrible characters and let you work on scenes with some psychotic and iconic antagonists. Tap into your ability to be evil\, cunning and despicable and have a blast doing it! \n\n\n\nStudents will receive a scene to work on which will be performed and taped audition style during the Masterclass.*Prerequisite required. Cap at 14 students  \n\n\n\nMASTERCLASS: Vixens\, Villains\, and Voldemorts: Becoming the Villain | Ages 16 – Young Adult | 2:30 PM-6:30 PM\n\n\n\nOften\, the Hero isn’t the most interesting character.

SUMMARY:John at the Actory in Miami
DESCRIPTION:To register\, please email cj@theactory.com  \nJohn returns to The Actory with classes for Youth and Adult and a special Content Creation Course! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE  \nFRIDAY\, FERUARY 10TH\nCHECK\, PLEASE! (Part 1)| Ages 14+ | 6pm-9pm\nCap at 16 students \nNeed Original Content for your website or your Actors’ Access? This course will help you get it and will unfold in three stages.1) You participate in the writing of a scene from an original scene template where you create critical portions of the dialogue or if two scene partners prefer\, they can write their own totally original diner scene with John’s guidance\, then–2) Actors rehearse and re-tool the scene with their scene partner on Friday\, Feb. 10th\, then–3) Actors perform scenes on tape on either Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon \nThe background for the scene will be a diner/restaurant. It could be a date\, a break-up or both\, a betrayal or possibly\, the discovery of a murder. Scenes will begin or end with the line “Check\, please!” \nAs soon as actors register\, they will be teamed up with a partner\, then scheduled for a zoom appointment with John\, where they will decide the direction of the scene. Actors can just perform an original script without being involved in the writing or they can have a hand in crafting their own. \nIf you’re willing to get creative with a scene and risk something in the process\, this is the course for you!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 11TH\nMagic Rectangle | Age Range: 7-13 | 9:30-11:30 AM\n \nDe-mystify acting for the camera with John’s simple math for delivering dynamic and indelible on-camera performances. John’s simple camera math technique will immediately improve student’s taped auditions by imposing structure on the imaginary canvas of the fourth wall that exists around the camera. This is a great place to start if you have not previously trained with John. This is one of John’s signature classes that he has taught in Hollywood and across America. Get ready for your taped auditions to dramatically improve!  \nActive Interrogation | Ages 7-13 |12-2 PM\n \nActing Interrogation is a technique\, developed by John D’Aquino\, that infuses true human reaction into scripted lines. Actors typically experience a disconnect between how they would organically respond versus how they respond to a line of dialogue they were anticipating. This technique illuminates human traits that you use every day that you may not understand how to employ in your work. The great thing is\, you’re already doing it! You’re just not bringing it to your work.  \n \n  \nVixens\, Villains\, and Voldemorts: Becoming the Villian | Ages 14+ | 2:30-5 PM\nOften\, the Hero isn’t the most interesting character. The people we remember are the Villains! You know\, the people we love to hate? But what makes a villain a villain? Why do we hate them? Why do they seem to be having so much fun being evil? In this course\, we’ll dive into the background\, archetypes\, psychology\, and nuances of these wonderfully\, horrible characters and let you work on scenes with some psychotic and iconic antagonists. Tap into your ability to be evil\, cunning and despicable and have a blast doing it!  \nCHECK\, PLEASE! (Part 2) | Ages 14+ | 5:30-9 PMGroup 1 \nContent Creation performers (Group 1) will shoot their scenes according to their call time. We will set the stage with elements of a restaurant with waiters and customers in the background. This is where we finally bring your work to life!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, FEBRUARY 12TH\nThe Actor’s Environment | Ages 7-13 | 9:30-11:30 AM\nEXT. GRAVEYARD – NIGHT. The cold breeze cuts to the bone. The spirits are restless and this will be a night like none other. For this is the night of the Reckoning.” – Are you interested\, yet? Scared? Can you feel the cold wind? Do you see the strange clouds cutting across the moon? Are you shivering from the cold\, the fear or both? Well… what if that’s the environment of the audition you are about to tape? Are you allowing the environment to affect your character? What if we change the location to Key West in August. How does the oppressive heat and humidity affect the mood of your character as you await the next big storm? Can you feel the weight of what lies ahead and does it fill you with trepidation? \nWell\, it’s our job to feel… everything! It’s what we get paid to do. Most actors don’t even allow the environment to affect their character\, their behavior and their choices. Most actors\, of course\, don’t work. Working actors know that the key element that the great writers impose the environment upon the characters. How will you incorporate that into your character for the scene? Whether it’s an interior or exterior\, busy city or desert landscape\, the environment informs the actor. Learn how to become the character living truthfully in their environment and bring your auditions to life!  \nActive Interrogation | Ages 14+ |12-2 PM\n \nActing Interrogation is a technique\, developed by John D’Aquino\, that infuses true human reaction into scripted lines. Actors typically experience a disconnect between how they would organically respond versus how they respond to a line of dialogue they were anticipating. This technique illuminates human traits that you use every day that you may not understand how to employ in your work. The great thing is\, you’re already doing it! You’re just not bringing it to your work.  \nCHECK\, PLEASE! (Part 2) | Ages 14+ | 2:30-6:30 PMGroup 2 \nContent Creation performers (Group 2) will shoot their scenes according to their call time. We will set the stage with elements of a restaurant with waiters and customers in the background. This is where we finally bring your work to life!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRICING\n\nOne Class: $175 \nTwo Classes: $250\nCHECK\, Please! (Content Creation Course): $300

DESCRIPTION: JDAW is updating our website!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are excited to announce that we will be introducing an entirely new commerce and scheduling interface by integrating Acuity Scheduling into our website\, eliminating the need for a separate site (the old and clunky secure.johndaquino.net).  Our updated site will allow you to make purchases and schedule classes\, workshops and private sessions directly within our main site or by using the Acuity Scheduling App for Iphone and Android! \nWe will be launching the updated site at the beginning of 2023. Though the information and navigation on the johndaquino.net site will look the same\, how you purchase classes\, private coaching\, and events will change. All transactions will occur directly within our main site through built in links\, or\, preferably\, on the Acuity Scheduling app available for Apple and Android phones and tablets. The app will be the easiest and best way to purchase and schedule everything\, and it will give you access to all of your account info\, payment methods\, class and private session history\, etc.  \nTo Add the Acuity Scheduling App to your Phone\nIf you are viewing this on your computer\, please scan the code below from your phone to add the Acuity app and johndaquino.net as your provider. If viewing this email on your phone\, click on the image below to add the app and have johndaquino.net added as your provider. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPurchasing & Scheduling Classes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMenu Items\nAs shown above\, all menu pull downs now give you direct access to scheduling and purchasing appointments. \nReservations\nYou will need to reserve any class you wish to attend in advance.
