Screen Coolness Workshop -- Less Is More, Period

I cut half my lines from every script. The directors hated it. The audience loved it. I teach you the Meisner principle applied to film: react truthfully, say only what's essential, and let your face do the work. Tip: If you can say it with a look, don't say it with words.

Triumph Bonneville T120 (1968 Restoration)

The same model I jumped the wire fence on in The Great Escape (though I jumped it on a modified TR6 Trophy). This '68 Bonnie is fully restored -- 650cc parallel twin, beautiful chrome. Rental includes helmet, jacket, and a prayer that you bring it back in one piece.

Leather Racing Jacket (Heuer-Patched, Le Mans Replica)

Gulf-blue leather racing jacket with Heuer patch, exactly as I wore in Le Mans. This is the jacket that launched a thousand fashion imitations. It's insured, so please don't crash in it. Borrow for photo shoots, car shows, or just feeling invincible.

Tap Dance Fundamentals -- Athletic Style

I don't teach pretty tap. I teach POWERFUL tap. We start with shuffles, flaps, and time steps, then build to combinations that use your whole body. I combined tap with ballet and jazz because dance shouldn't live in boxes. Tip: Your tap shoes are percussion instruments. You're not dancing -- you're drumming with your feet.

Professional Tap Shoes (Capezio K360, Men's & Women's Sizes)

Capezio K360 oxfords -- the tap shoe I helped design. Split-sole for flexibility, Teletone taps for a warm sound, leather upper for durability. Available in men's 8-12 and women's 6-10. Break them in on a wooden floor, not concrete.

Musical Film History Screening & Discussion

We screen one of the great musicals -- Singin' in the Rain, An American in Paris, On the Town, or West Side Story -- and I break down the choreography, camera work, and directorial decisions. Small group, max 10. Come ready to discuss how dance tells story.

Classic Hollywood Makeup Kit (1940s Natural Look)

The 1940s 'no makeup' look actually required extraordinary skill. Soft foundation, natural brow, minimal eye, rosy lip. This kit replicates the golden-age Hollywood look that Selznick's makeup artists created for me. Includes application guide.

Multilingual Acting Workshop -- Performing in Other Languages

I performed in Swedish, English, Italian, German, and French -- each language changes how you think, gesture, and breathe. We pick two languages and do the same scene in both. You'll discover that your character shifts when the language shifts. That's not a problem -- that's a gift.

Emotional Scene Work -- Crying, Laughing, Raging on Cue

In Casablanca, the tears were real -- I didn't know how the story ended. That uncertainty became the performance. I teach you to access genuine emotion without tricks, onions, or menthol. We work on sense memory, breath, and emotional preparation. Tip: Don't try to cry. Try to NOT cry. The struggle is what the camera captures.

Motorcycle Maintenance Workshop -- Wrench Your Own Bike

I rebuilt engines in my garage between films. A rider who can't fix their own bike is a passenger, not a rider. We cover oil changes, chain adjustment, brake bleeding, and carburetor tuning on a vintage British twin. Bring old clothes.

Tap Dance -- The Art of Effortless Complexity

My tap style is different from Gene's. He's power. I'm precision. We work on clean sounds, syncopation, and the illusion of spontaneity that only comes from ruthless preparation. Tip: If the audience can see you counting, you haven't practiced enough.

Screen Presence for Women -- Commanding Without Diminishing

I was told to shrink -- change your nose, lose weight, lower your voice. I did none of it. I teach women to take up space on screen without apology. Posture, gaze, and the power of a well-timed silence. Men take up space instinctively. Women must choose to. That choice is power.
