This specialized workshop delves into the craft of directing actors for stage and screen.

The session covers practical skills like script analysis from a director's perspective, creating a collaborative rehearsal environment, and troubleshooting common challenges that arise during the creative process.

Whether aspiring to direct community theatre productions, student films, or simply wanting to understand the director-actor relationship from a new angle, this workshop offers valuable insights into the collaborative art of performance. Attendees will gain hands-on experience through exercises and scene work, learning how to give effective direction that inspires rather than dictates.
