Develop a skill that is always used but rarely taught.

  • WHO IS THIS FOR?

    Whether you're a dancer, actor, singer, or multi-hyphenate artist, this is the perfect opportunity to refine your craft & unleash your creativity.

    · Actors, dancers & performers of all genres

    · All levels, all ages

    · Anyone who wants to gain confidence & skill in front of the camera

    · Professionals who want to excel on the job in high-pressure environments

    · Dancers who are transitioning to acting

    · Beginners who want to lay an invaluable foundation for understanding camera work

    · Anyone looking for a creative challenge that helps them understand who they are

  • WHAT IS THIS FOR?

    Artists are consistently asked to deliver on camera on industry jobs, in class, or even in creating content for social media. However, the skill of understanding how to specifically perform on camera rarely gets properly taught.

    · Fall in love with the camera

    · Learn how to master your facial expressions & physicality to optimize storytelling on camera

    · Learn the rules between you & the camera; what reads, what doesn’t, and how to instinctively know the difference

    · Learn how to consistently get your performance to look the way it feels.

  • WHEN IS THIS FOR?

    Mastering these skills in a low-stakes setting will prepare you for when you’re in a high-stakes setting. There is no replacement for experience- in 2 days, learn skills that might take you a lifetime to otherwise master.

    · Apply your on-camera techniques in:

    · Classes

    · Auditions

    · Rehearsals

    · Content Creation

    · On industry jobs as an actor, dancer, performer

    · Any time you are performing on camera

Participants in the brand new GHM ON-CAMERA session will receive Galen’s one-of-a-kind coaching on the specialized, coveted skill of how to look amazing on camera.

Galen’s method of teaching on-camera technique is unlike any other teacher.

Her decades of experience acting & directing give her the ability to bring a performance to life.

She is able to coach you in delivering a performance that is beyond what you thought you were capable of.

GHM ON-CAMERA is a valuable addition to your training beyond simply taking choreography classes.

  • “I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for Galen & how much she provides a safe space to explore, take risks & be comfortable with the uncomfortable. This was my 4th GHM intensive & although each one has been an incredible & defining experience of its own, I felt a different level of impact & personal growth with this one - it was truly special for so many reasons. Having a camera work around & with you is a challenge & skill - the concept of “captaining your own ship” really clicked here with respect to ways of tuning the volume dials for the display of vulnerability & emotions on camera. Personally, I usually tend to hold a part of myself back because facing the camera was like looking in a mirror - afraid of facing and truly showing myself, wanting to hide in the back and not be fully seen. Although I embrace the beautiful mess as a human, it still is scary to put those “ugly” & “awkward” emotions out there. But now I’ve peeled off yet another layer thanks to this experience.”

    -Nandini

  • “This intensive really reshaped how I approach choreography, performing, and being myself on camera. Can't thank you enough, Galen!"

    -Crystal

  • "As an artist I am often told I have this energetic fire about me that is full of passion, but with all that fire I have to be able to contain & control it. Galen worked with us on so many wonderful techniques for camera but for me it was being able to control my fire. Galen said, “compress it into hot coal.” Thank you for constructing an amazing program that really dives into the beauty & power of film & how work with a camera to convey the message we want to tell."

    -Payton

  • “The Monday after the GHM On-Camera intensive, I had an in-person first call for a SAG commercial, just acting no dancing. I got the callback a week later. I felt way more prepared & in control. I booked it! SAG national commercial! My first booking in many many months! I definitely was able to use what I learned to focus & give the director what he wanted.”

    -Paige

FAQs

  • Galen is especially skilled at adjusting her teaching to any level of student. If you have never danced before or even if you have never been in front of a camera, Galen will use her eye to see what’s special about you and coach you in presenting those strengths. It takes courage to sign up for an experience that is intimidating- if you’re reading this FAQ, this is your sign to go for it! GHM Intensives are known for their inclusive environment and there is no better place to reach your full potential.

  • If your goal is to learn how to perform on camera but you don’t have on-camera experience, this session will be the perfect place to lay an invaluable foundation on which to build! For many experienced performers, there are often habits they’ve developed that actually need to be undone. Fortunately for you, you get to start from scratch with the best approach to performing on camera.

  • The routine will be adjustable for each student and will be similar to “i love you” and “Best Part” in that it is accessible to beginner and advanced dancers. Because it is a small session, you may work with Galen on adjusting any section of choreography that is too challenging. The difficulty of the choreography should not interfere with your ability to focus on the on-camera skills being built.
