FAQS HOW MUCH DOES THE EVENT COST? Absolutely nothing! The Summer Intensive is included in your Conservatory registration fee.

I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR HOURS TO REGISTER AND KEEP GETTING A BUSY SIGNAL OR IT GOES STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Please be patient, we understand the process can be frustrating. If you call and it goes to voicemail or rings busy, it simply means that we are on the other lines and handling the callers in the order that they come in. At that point, please hang up and try calling back. Remember, we only have a limited number of phones and lines to help serve you. We spend the same amount of time with each caller and we are handling all the calls the best we can. If you call and get put on hold, do not hang up. You have been put into the queue and someone will be with you shortly.

CAN I COME TO THE OFFICE AND REGISTER IN PERSON? No, due to the high volume of phone calls, we do not accept registration in the office. If you do try to come in, you will be turned away.

DO I NEED TO REGISTER FOR THE FRIDAY NIGHT EVENT? Yes! When calling in to register for the other workshops, be sure to let us know if you would like to attend the Friday night event as well. Space is limited!

WHAT’S THE BEST TIME TO ARRIVE? We suggest arriving early. Parking is very limited on the campus, as this is our busiest weekend of the year.

WHERE DO I PARK? We do have limited parking available on campus as well as at the Immaculate Heart High School, however we cannot guarantee parking as spaces are limited. We will have volunteers monitoring the parking lots to help guide you the best we can. Please be kind to them and be prepared that you may need to hike up the hill to get to your classes.

If you are directed to park off-campus, please watch the street signs carefully. We are not responsible should you get a ticket. We do highly recommend carpooling or taking alternate methods of transportation. See the back page for suggestions.

A CLASS I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE WAS ALREADY FULL. CAN I JUST SHOW UP AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY NO-SHOWS? No, our volunteer class monitors will turn you away.

Please feel free to check in with the Conservatory office in the Mayer Library Building and, if space has become available, they will give you a special card that will allow you to enter the class.

THERE ARE TWO WORKSHOPS AT THE SAME TIME THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE, CAN I LEAVE HALF-WAY THROUGH ONE TO GO TO THE OTHER? No. Our space is limited, and that is not allowed in order to give more members an opportunity to attend.

IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW MANY WORKSHOPS I CAN TAKE? No, as long as the classes you register for don’t overlap.

Feel free to take advantage of as many workshops over the weekend as you can.

CAN I BRING A GUEST? No, the Summer Intensive is only open to current SAG-AFTRA Conservatory members.

CAN I RECORD THE CLASSES ON MY PHONE OR COMPUTER? No, it is absolutely prohibited and if you are caught doing so, you will be asked to leave the workshop.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM LATE TO A WORKSHOP? Workshops close 10 minutes after the scheduled start time and it is up to the teacher if he/she will allow you in to the class after that, so you could be turned away. We ask that you please arrive on time, if not early, so there is no disruption to the class or your fellow actors.

I DON’T KNOW WHERE MY CLASS IS, WHAT SHOULD I DO? There is a map of the campus posted on page 4 to help you and we will also have maps posted around the campus during the event. Should you need additional assistance, please come to the office or ask one of our friendly volunteers in a bright blue shirt, and we will be happy to point you in the right direction.

SHOULD I BRING HEADSHOTS AND RESUMES? Yes, as an actor, your headshot is your calling card. You should always have them with you.

OTHER THAN HEADSHOTS, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD BRING? Yes, be sure to bring your own pens and paper. We have some amazing teachers and workshops being offered.

We want you to be able to take home all the valuable information that you will be learning.

IS THERE AN ATM? No, there is no ATM on campus.

WILL THERE BE FOOD AVAILABLE? Yes, we will have two food trucks available for you to purchase food and drinks on the lunch break. We will also have a coffee truck available in the morning when you arrive.

WILL WATER BE AVAILABLE? There are several water fountains on campus, so be sure to bring your own water bottle and fill up throughout the day to stay hydrated.

DO YOU NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR THE WEEKEND? This event cannot come together without the help of our members, so anyone who might be interested in volunteering that weekend, please contact the Conservatory office by calling (323) 856-7736 or sending an email to conservatory@sagaftra.org.

We can certainly use your help!

SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Conservatory We are located on the campus of The American Film Institute 2021 N. Western Ave., Hollywood, CA 90027 If you are heading east on Franklin Ave., turn left (north). The AFI campus is halfway up the hill on the left. Turn into the driveway and go up the hill (past Immaculate Heart High School). The first building on your left is the Warner Building, where many auditions for student films are held. To get to the SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Conservatory, continue driving further up the hill. As you veer left, you’ll see a white two-story building, the Mayer Library Building. The SAG-AFTRA Conservatory office is located in LIB 100 on the ground floor. The studio, classroom and the Frankovich/Barnes screening room are also located on the ground floor.

Tips for riding your bike: Ride like you dr ive (with dir ection of tr affic, signal when tur ning, stay out of the door zone). You can take your bike on all Metro trains. All Metro buses have two racks on the front of the bus (Dash does not have racks). Bring a lock for your bike to lock it up during classes (there are some trees and high poles to lock to). Wear sunblock. Hydrate. Bring baby wipes to freshen up. Rules of the road and more tips on www.illuminateLA.com.

MAKING THE MOST OF SUMMER INTENSIVE Planning the weekend is a little tricky. Here’s how to make the most of your time: On page 3, you’ll find a calendar listing with the classes. Throughout this newsletter, you will find accompanying information and workshop descriptions. Look over the calendar and pick what you’d like to take — also pick some backups on the off chance your choices are not available. Note that some of the classes run one-and-a-half hours, some are three, so you need to mix and match accordingly. And don’t forget, if you want to attend the Friday Night Special Event, you need to make a reservation. Don’t be overwhelmed — be patient and prepared — our friendly office staff and volunteers are here to help you!
