Information:
Intermediate Directing Workshop: What a Director ISN’T & More
with Mark Bellamy
Saturday November 28th, 2009 10:00 – 4:30

Synopsis:
Mark will lead participants in exploring intermediate directing subjects, including (but not limited to):
- What a director isn't (what is an actor's role versus a director's)
- How to get an actor to change their performance/action/meaning to better suit your vision
- Building a unified team (Cast AND Crew)
This workshop will be geared toward participants who have directed before or who have worked with directors before. Newcomers are welcome, but please be aware that this workshop will be set at an intermediate level, and basic concepts will not be the focus.
