Length: 10-hour weekend seminar
Class Notes: This course includes a pre-class homework assignment. Students must have home recording capabilities.
In this family, nobody works alone. After being thoughtfully paired up with another student, you’ll step into the role of director, pulling the strings for each other while the master himself, our dashing Brian Sommer, watches from the shadows. You’ll call the shots, shape the performances and feel the power – and the pressure – of guiding a fellow actor’s read. But remember even the most fearless Don needs a consigliere. If your direction strays too far, Brian will step in, offer the kind of wisdom that can’t be refused and set you back on course. This class isn’t just about performing, it’s about understanding the other side of the glass, learning how to give clear, sharp and effective feedback, and discovering how precise direction transforms a script and a performance. By trading roles of actor and director back and forth with your partner, you’ll gain new insights into your own choices as an actor, sharpening both your script analysis instincts and your versatility. Leave your nerves at the door, because in this class you’re not just an actor, you’re a boss. And in this world, those who know how to pull the strings never get played.
