The CRY HAVOC Company - University Career Course and Seminars

UNIVERSITY CAREER COURSE AND SEMINARS

Eighty percent of young actors, directors, and writers who begin a career in the arts will leave the business within the first five years. A major reason for this attrition is that many early career artists are burdened not only with a lack of understanding about how the business works, but a fundamental misunderstanding of the way it works.

CRY HAVOC offers universities and other organizations a comprehensive training program for their students that both demystifies the realities of working in the entertainment industry and provides a philosophical basis for a life-long career in the arts.

Topics covered include:

Auditions and Meetings
Theater and Film Unions
Casting Directors
Agents and Managers
Identifying and Utilizing Your Type
Headshots and Resumes
Marketing Yourself
Websites and Social Media
Developing Professional Relationships
Producing Your Own Work
Making Your “Day Job” Work for You
Developing a Long-Term Vision for Your Career

This program can take the form of a semester-long course (which is currently part of the required curriculum for seniors at the New School for Drama), or workshops of various lengths focused on specific topics.
