A laboratory for storytelling
This weekend intensive is designed as a creative laboratory between actors and directors.
Too often actors and directors only meet when the camera is already rolling. This lab creates a space where both sides of the process can experiment, communicate, and refine their craft together.
The lab brings together 10–12 actors and 6 directors to explore scenes through multiple perspectives.
Actors will perform the same material with different directors, experiencing how subtle shifts in direction can completely change a performance.
Directors will have the opportunity to practice directing actors repeatedly, refining how they communicate ideas, shape performances, and collaborate creatively.
A professional cinematographer will shoot the scenes, allowing us to see in real time how adjustments in performance and direction translate on camera.
Actors will learn both the A and B sides of their scenes, allowing directors to swap roles, experiment with casting, and explore different dynamics.
Day 1 – Exploration & Rehearsal
Actors and directors work through scenes, experiment with different approaches, and begin building the work.
Day 2 – Shooting
Scenes are shot on camera with our DP, allowing directors and actors to refine choices in a real production environment.
Day 3 – Playback & Discussion
We watch the footage together and break down what worked, what shifted, and how direction shapes performance.
Participants leave with footage from the lab and a deeper understanding of how actors and directors work together to create strong scenes.
