Welcome to the Spring term of LeBlanc School of Acting! We hope you’re ready for a wild ride, with our strongest term yet. This Spring, it’s all about The WILD CARDS!

‍A wild card is an unknown or unpredictable factor that plays into a situation. You are often caught by complete surprise, and must muster up all of your senses and skills to face it head on. Wild cards can be sneaky, silly, exciting, and even nerve-wracking. Some work out in your favour, and others demand perseverance and resilience. One thing is always true: drawing era a wild card is always out of your hands.‍

‍So why have a whole term of wild cards? So much of the acting industry is unpredictable! You may be dealt a desired outcome one week, and be thrown a complete curveball the next. No matter how organized you are, or how well you plan out your acting journey, there will always be a twist you didn’t expect. An opportunity in the form of a surprise. And the actors that are ready to embrace the unknown rise to the top. So this Spring, we are tackling a term full of eight wild cards to keep us on our acting toes. Trust us when we say, it’s going to be an unforgettable term!‍

‍We’ve shuffled the deck on the Spring term. You’ll be dealt a new card every week, and we’ll be exploring a new technique each class. Embrace the wild unknown as we get into a powerful term, LeBlancers. Let’s deal the cards and hit start on Week 1!

We are our students' biggest fans; we love seeing them perform and use their skills. At L.S.A., we tell our students that taking videos and pictures of yourself in performance or while practicing is a great tool to go back and reflect on your abilities. However, we hold a strong stance on maintaining a respectful environment, and to that end, no recording of full classes is permitted at LeBlanc.

Parents may only record their child during class when it is their turn to perform, and they hear the word "Action!" and stop when they hear the word "Cut!". Feedback and instruction are not to be filmed and shared.

Our school is built on our unique approach to teaching, and many of the techniques we share in class are exclusive to LeBlanc. We believe that all our students learn in a safe, comfortable, and engaging way. By doing so, our students have an atmosphere for optimal learning and skill retention!

Although we all know you are online learning professionals at this point, we just want to make sure everyone is in the loop with our key virtual acting class etiquette:

• Please ensure you have a quiet space to attend class, with a strong internet connection, camera and working audio.
• Students are to attend class solo. Registered siblings in the same class may share, if necessary. Parents, we love you, but our classes are for the kids. Try and give your kid(s) proper freedom/space.
• We suggest setting up your device on a desk or tripod, and sitting in a chair that allows for good posture. You should also have the ability to stand up freely and move side-to-side for scenes that require movement.
• Please try your best to clear out all distractions, and close all other tabs and apps on your device. We expect the same amount of focus during our virtual classes as would be given to in-person sessions.
• When you come to class, please be ready to learn! This means you are sitting in a learning-conducive environment with everything you need. Although life requires us to be on the go, attending class from a vehicle or busy area can be distracting to others. If you are joining the class from a non-learning conducive environment, we will require that you audit rather than participate in the class; this means your camera and sound will stay off for the class duration so that others can learn without interruption.
• We are all missing in-person classes but industry professionals are now being cited as saying that online classes are helping to advance actors and hone their craft like never before. Let’s use this tool to our advantage and give it our all!

Our class time is valuable, and we want to make sure our students have conducive learning environments and are ready when the clock strikes. To ensure our students have the best experience possible, LeBlanc School of Acting has a strict 'Late Policy'.  

Our Late Policy means that if you are more than 10 minutes late, you will unfortunately not be allowed to participate in class and will not be let in from the Zoom waiting room.

At LeBlanc, we work hard to create exciting class plans coordinated to class time. By being late, our students lose out on key elements and education while disrupting the class flow and learning of others.

Our team is always open to working with unexpected schedule changes or appointments; they just need to be made aware ahead of time. If your child will be late, please email admin@leblancschool.com to let us know in advance.

HOLIDAY CLOSURE:

You’ve been going “all in” during the first two weeks of the term, and we couldn’t be more proud, LeBlancers! It’s time to regroup and reshuffle, as we take a short break. Our offices will be closed from Monday, May 11 - Monday, May 18, inclusive, as our Canadian team celebrates the holiday.

We’ll be back with a new hand when we return for class on Tuesday, May 19th.

Have a great break!
