Note to visitors of the official Beginnings Workshop website:
We’re proud to announce that we’re finally moving into the 21st century! We’ve undertaken a major step in the evolution of our program, and upgraded both the format and content of our site. It will have an entirely different look and “feel”, and will more accurately represent the many components of our workshops in New York, London, and Hollywood.
The public launch will take place on Wednesday, February 15th. Alums: please mark this on your calendar- we’d love and appreciate your feedback! petersklar@aol.com We believe you’ll agree it was worth the wait. Thank you.
Peter & Staff
P.S. We’re still seeking photos from your workshop. The more the merrier. Thanks!
