Workshops

Dear Friends,

If you’re a film or theater director, actor or filmmaker looking for workshop where you make serious progress achieving your creative and professional goals in the very important area of DIRECTING ACTORS, join us. Goodman Directing and Acting Studio offers intensive workshops for film and theater directors. This is a comprehensive course with practical and real life examples, and scientific approach. The director will learn how to bring out the best possible performance from their actors and create a memorable and everlasting work of art. Our workshops and book, “The Art of Directing Actors,” by Ernest Goodman presents directing actors as a practical psychology: the art of managing human behavior. Our ultimate goal is quality of education, which is why our classes are small. Every student will work with actors we provide.

The director guides the actor by working with him or her to interpret the script, blocking and staging the scenes, working with individual actors to help them deliver their best performance, and many other subtle and not so subtle ways.
Directing actors refers to the process in which a film, theater, or television director guides and manages the performances of actors on set or stage. This involves working closely with the actors to develop and shape their portrayal of characters in a script, ensuring that their performances align with the director’s creative vision for the project. Directing actors can encompass various tasks, such as providing feedback on the actors’ delivery of lines, helping them explore their characters’ motivations and emotions, and guiding them through physical movements and blocking during scenes. Ultimately, the director’s goal is to create a cohesive and engaging narrative by eliciting strong, authentic performances from the actors involved.
