Instruct a class entitled ACTING FOR THE CAMERA WORKSHOP that is administered through NYU's, Tisch School of the Arts, but open to the entire university, both grad and undergrad students.
Class size is 20 students, working in groups of 2 on approved scenes taken from films that have already been produced. The purpose of the class is to guide the students through the process of film acting vs. stage acting, helping them find the method that works best for their talent. Students leave the class with a filmed scene that they can add to their acting reel as they transition into more professional work.
