Film and TV are visual mediums, and one of the  Director’s main tools in effective storytelling is their blocking. Blocking is a choreographed dance between actor and camera…where should the actor move? When? How will it be filmed? What shots are needed for the final product? Every choice should serve to tell the story visually in a way that supports the words and fills in where the words cannot. Blocking should be dynamic, and must also be efficient for camera and lighting, as time on set is often very limited. This hands-on workshop will provide a deep dive into blocking, prepping, shotlisting and rehearsing a scene from script to screen. 

Directing Actors for Camera

Directing Workshops

November 16 & 17 10am-5pm

Adults, $125 per participant (early bird pricing ends October 20) regular pricing is $140 per participant

At Trilith Studios

A story is told through its characters, and a director must understand the craft of the actor, and have the tools and language to coax them into their most compelling performances. This workshop will ask the director to experience the actor’s craft before diving into proven tactics and language that will respectfully enhance an actors performance to deliver dynamic, nuanced and honest performances. We will also explore the relationship between actor and director, ways to establish trust, collaborate and run a blocking rehearsal on a set.
