East Side Tae Kwon Do
This exciting camp is focused on Tae Kwon Do and related physical activities. It is appropriate for kids 5-12 years old; no prior Tae Kwon Do experience is necessary. We start each morning with an hour Tae Kwon Do class and have two more classes throughout the day. The morning class is always focused on Tae Kwon Do. The afternoon classes either refine the techniques learned in the morning class, or entail some other type of physical movement such as yoga or a team sport. When we??™re not moving we do art activities, learn about Asian cultures, go to the park or take field trips to kid friendly places.
Kids need to bring their own lunches and snacks. The 2009 Session runs from the end of June to mid-August. Please call 212.755.5982 for details or to register.
To Whom It May Concern: My
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Stephanie Dalle Molle and I am a Casting Director here in Manhattan for a commercial production company. We are currently looking for kids to appear in a commercial and would like to extend the opportunity to your Tae Kwon do students between the ages of 4 and 8.
Generally when casting for a project like this we would contact talent agents. However, the client has requested that we search for “real” children with no acting experience. The entire campaign revolves around authentic reactions, and therefore we do not want children who may be too “polished” or “rehearsed”. We are simply looking for outgoing, smart, fun kids who are charming just being themselves.
Ultimately we are looking to cast an upward of 30 children, and seeing as we do not know that many ourselves, are seeking to partner with school systems, after school programs and classes in the tri-state area to achieve our goal.
Ideally we would like to come to your school, and interview any child with parental consent. We will be asking them a brief list of questions to get a feel for his/her personality (i.e. “What is your favorite game?” “What is your favorite food?” etc.)
We would take no more than 3 to 5 minutes of each child’s time, and would work around your school’s schedule. We would ask that the school and parents be vague with the children, as we do not want them to know that they are being considered for a commercial.
Unfortunately, due to client confidentiality, we are unable to disclose the specific product of the commercial. However, we are permitted to say that it is for a bank and those selected will be monetarily compensated under the guidelines of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). The project is deadline driven and we would be looking to start the “casting” process as early this week. The commercial itself will shoot one day during the week of December 14th in New York City.
This has potential to be a very unique and fun opportunity for your students, and we thank you in advance for your consideration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, and feel free to forward this information along to anyone else who may be of assistance.
