On Camera Acting with Goats

In the world of film and television, working with animals can be as unpredictable as it is entertaining. Despite the old showbiz adage, “Never work with animals or children,” this unique workshop promises an unforgettable experience where actors embrace the spontaneous and playful nature of goats.

On-Camera Acting with Goats offers a rare opportunity to learn and perform alongside these charming four-legged companions. Goats, with their inherent spontaneity, bring a special kind of unpredictability to the acting process, challenging participants to adapt and improvise in real-time. As Denis Weaver, star of the 1960s TV series Gentle Ben, famously remarked about working with animals, “The bear hit his mark, cut/print!”—a testament to the fascinating unpredictability animals bring to the screen.

Led by acting coach Diane Ayala Goldner, this workshop invites both seasoned actors and newcomers to explore their craft in an unconventional setting. Participants will engage in various acting exercises and scenes while interacting with the goats, who add a layer of joy and hilarity to the process.

Whether you’re looking to refine your skills or simply enjoy a fun and quirky acting challenge, this workshop offers a one-of-a-kind experience. Join us for a session of laughter, creativity, and learning, all in the company of some delightfully mischievous goats.
