Directing Series

The directing series is an intense 3-hour hands-on session where working film/tv directors come to the studio and watch the actors do prepared scenes. Generally in half-hour segments, the director then works with the actors as he or she would work with actors on set. Some directors work on specific technical aspects, others work with actors in exploring the scene in different ways, still others work on isolated moments in the script or work more specifically with the actor's definition of the role. It is a very exciting, collaborative process where visionary directors experiment with passionate actors to discover greater truths in the work and the possibilities created therein.

As everything at the studio is created in the effort to explore deeper truth in one's work and life, and generate one's life and work from an authentic place of empowerment, no workshops are ever designed just to showcase actors for the mere sake of showcasing. The actors who participate are schooled in the philosophy of the studio that, first and foremost, holds consistent and authentic commitment to the work as the foundation on which everything else is built. The actor's focus is always to be on the work FIRST. When the actors surrender to the work, then the opportunity to share that work with others is earned.

While we’re thrilled that our workshops have contributed to many students’ independent success, we do not agent, manage, commission, procure or attempt to procure work for actors.
