Event description:
Join Damien Garvey for a discussion on the business of being an actor. Damien believes that being an actor is similar to running a small business. For him, managing that small business efficiently and effectively, has been the foundation for creating his long term career, and increasing his confidence as a performer. Damien will share some of the strategies that have helped him over the years, and will answer any questions you have on the broader subject of acting.
