DIRECT REAL™

If you like most action and exploitation movies and cartoons and most television, this workshop won’t help you. This seminar is for directors who still aspire higher. How to collaborate with a writer to get his or her best work, how to relay the results to your cast and designers. How to manage a rehearsal and a set (or a theatre) to allow you to do your best work, too. How to develop your own vision. Two days intensive workshop. Maximum 12 directors. You supply the actors.

DIRECTING TRAFFIC™

Helping actors help themselves (and give you what you want). Breaking down the process of taking the meaning in a scene and translating it to the stage — or screen. Two day workshop. Maximum 12 directors. You supply the actors.
