Ever feel that the acting techniques you're learning don't apply when you get to the audition? You don't seem to be able to make them work on a set or apply to a director's note. Want the confidence to self-direct while on set?

On Camera and Scene Study Classes
This unique set of workshops has an action based focus in the vein of David Mamet. Simple and straight forward: no misleading buzzwords or clever theories. You will come to depend more on your own innate abilities as an actor and become less dependant on "methods" or "theories" for acting.
