This series of four webinars, led by Joan Darling, will teach the practical things that a director does to bring the performance they want from the actors out of the script, onto the set, and into the camera. Ten attendees will actively participate in all four sessions and will direct a scene that they are working on or present a scene provided by Ms. Darling. These slots have been filled.
Others are welcome to observe and learn. Ms. Darling will involve everyone! We suggest that you take all four workshops.
