How to direct actors for stage and screen
What separates directors like Quentin Tarantino, Stephen Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, The Coen Brothers, and Paul Thomas Anderson from others? For one thing, they understand how to work with actors and get a great performance out of them. Most working directors today are glorified traffic managers who may know how to frame a nice-looking shot, but don't know anything about collaborating with a performer to get their best possible work.

In this exciting series of workshops, you'll not only learn the fundamentals of directing and working with actors, but you'll also get to put your newfound skills to the test when you direct a full production of your choice, right here in our studio.
