Showcast – Australia's leading actors' directory and casting service - has teamed up with one of Australia's leading acting studios to present the 2012 Ellen Burstyn Scholarship.
This scholarship offers an experienced actor the opportunity to further their craft with the Co-President and Artistic Director of The Actors Studio, New York, and one of the most celebrated and awarded actresses of our time, Ellen Burstyn.
Ellen Burstyn holds the rare honour of wining the triple-crown of acting (the Academy, Emmy and Tony Awards) from her numerous nominations in a career that has spanned over 50 years. Her performances are regarded as some of the finest in cinematic history. This, combined with her tenure at the legendary Actors Studio, ensures this will be a once-in-a lifetime experience.
As this is a professional development program, a decision on the place will be determined according to the strength of application (credits, showreel/video and previous training).
All information on the masterclass is available at www.16thstreet.com.au. Applications will be accepted until 5pm, February 3rd, 2012
