Director/Professor Jonathan Pope Evans comes from Chapman University in Orange, California where he works closely with actors, from coaching/directing them in films Sepulte "The Buried" and "Hoover Road"(which screened at RIIFF last year) to coaching actors on the art of screen acting. 

Evans challenges actors to develop the self, to personally connect to the moments in a scene, and to experience a very personal and profound physical awakening within the world of the character. 

In this workshop, Evans explores various exercises for developing characters, including substitutions and emotional triggering based in the work of Larry Moss, Ivana Chubbuck and Lee Strasberg. 

Whether you are a film actor looking for new tools for your process or a director looking to guide actors to create emotional and personal performances in your films, join Director/Professor Jonathan Pope Evans for an informative journey into the acting process.

The Workshop will take place on Thursday August 6th and will run from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

Those attending will meet at the Hotel Providence located at 139 Mathewson Street, Providence RI.  

This promises to be a memorable afternoon and a dynamic networking opportunity. Afterwards, you can hang out at the new RI Film Office Filmmaker Lounge at the Hotel Providence's Aspire Restaurant.
