Why this picture with Lola and I with Martin Sheen? I am a huge fan ! Mr Sheen was working on location on my brother's co pro this summer. We spent all the off screen time talking about theatre productions he has done. Not his movies! His stories are so vibrant, he loves the theatre and we shared great camaraderie, revisiting productions and colleagues long past for both of us. I want to share that kind of joy and spark in my classes. I love teaching and believe in the power of transformation in the crucible of making work. This Tuesday Directing Class begins a new session at BRT! Welcome aboard!

Directing is the act of making the invisible visible. It’s a dynamic dance between words and action; creativity and craft; actor, director and audience. This hands-on class is focused on manifesting your vision and building your director’s tool box, no matter what level of experience. Analyze text, create theatrical space, explore the rehearsal process and collaborate with actors. Practical experiments and scene work will culminate in a showcase for invited guests. We will reference important directors including Stanislavski, Brecht, Brook, Bogart and Lepage. Dive in, stimulate your creativity and hone your craft.THU 7–10pm • 2/16, 2/23, 3/1, 3/8, 3/15 • $210 |
