Table Read for Scriptwriters

This workshop is for the writer who has their first to fifty-fifth draft completed.

You have aspirations to take this project to market, but, you haven't heard the script outside of your own head. You've been locked in the lonely process of being the only one to hear your story. So, the flaws are hidden from you.

Our work together gives you the material you need to make your script ready to submit to producers or take to set.

Yes! I'm in...

I Will:

Cast

I can invite high quality actors to read your script or we can work together with your input for casting.

** PLEASE NOTE:

Casting for table reads are not "for camera" casting. Actors are pulled from my extremely talented pool of contacts, regardless of union status.

The actors I bring in are also selected because they have a supportive mindset and an understanding of how to support you, the writer, in this process.

Container

This is a safe container where you get to hear your script come alive through embodied characterizations.

Reading

In our conversation before the reading, we will get clear about the casting requirements and what you want out of this experience.

I will set the stage with introductions, house rules, and incorporate your needs for the session. Then give you the floor to offer any direction or background you wish to express.

I will then guide the reading and notes.

Notes

You will have a chance to hear feedback from the actors'/characters' points of view; including script flow, character arc and multiple outside perspectives around where the bumps and successes are in the script.

These notes are meant to empower you to feel confident to send out your final draft.

Save my spot

What my past workshops have done for clients;

My writing clients have experienced a bevy of awe-inspiring awarenesses hearing their script come to life which gave them the ease into motivation to carry the rest of the journey home

It gives them a perspective on each of the characters’ journeys, the overall structure and the story arc that is necessary for the writer to move past the grueling lonesome work that the process has been up until this point

It is a refreshing, necessary, often skipped stage of the process

This is a safe container where the writer can still play and learn before risking being under the sometimes cruel hand of marketing and pre-production

I'm in!

"Hearing your script read aloud is gratifying and edifying.

Cara facilitated our sessions with the intuition that can only come from being an accomplished actor and coach.

She guided both writer and performers to explore the material in illuminating ways."
