WRITE THE CHANGE 4: DIRECT THE SCENE

SARAH GERTRUDE SHAPIRO - CREATOR, WRITER, DIRECTOR: UnREAL

"Another incredible day in Hollywoodland!! 3 day workshop with Joan Scheckel blew my mind out of my head - one of the most incredible experiences of my creative life to date. Directing is a JOB; a really complicated, magical, incredible alchemist job, that I am learning how to ACTUALLY DO, step by step, beat by beat until it's memorized in my body. Doing exercises and showing sides of myself I am terrified to show... is the same level of stuff I am about to ask my actors to do. Great lesson in empathy.  Makes me crazy excited to properly break down my script, cast and MAKE!"

Tools for Directing in WRITE THE CHANGE 4: DIRECTING YOUR SCENE

Present to Joan a scene you direct! It doesn't matter how you do it, it only matters that you do it (on the street, at your house, using sock puppets, using zoom etc!). Joan will select scenes at random from the class to reveal how to use blocking, actions, pace, and other levels of the mise en scene to bring your directing skills to LIFE! This course was designed as a follow-up to WRITE THE CHANGE 1, 2 and 3.
