Dance for Camera Workshop -- Choreographing for the Lens
Stage dance faces one direction. Camera dance exists in 360 degrees. I teach you to choreograph for angles, cuts, and tracking shots. We study the puddle-splashing in Singin' in the Rain and the ballet in An American in Paris. Tip: The camera is your dance partner. Don't ignore it.
Partner Dance Workshop -- The Art of Following
Everyone wants to learn to lead. Nobody teaches you to follow brilliantly. Following is interpretation in real time -- you feel the lead's intention through your frame and translate it into movement, often in reverse, often in heels. We work on frame, connection, and musical sensitivity. Tip: The best follower makes every leader feel like a genius.
Dancing in Heels Workshop -- Grace Under Pressure
I danced in three-inch heels on polished floors going backwards. It requires ankle strength, balance, and nerve. We start with low heels on a forgiving surface and work up. Tip: The heel hits the ground differently than a flat shoe -- you must relearn your weight placement from the ground up.
Action Film Preparation Workshop -- Body as Weapon
For The Matrix, I trained four months. For John Wick, six months. I teach you the actor's approach to combat training: not to fight, but to look like you've been fighting your whole life. Jiu-jitsu, judo throws, gun handling, and the physical stamina to do take after take. Tip: Train until the movement disappears and only the character remains.
Three-Gun Tactical Training Workshop
Pistol, rifle, and shotgun -- safe handling, reload drills, transition drills, and shoot-on-the-move technique. I trained at Taran Tactical for John Wick and now I compete in 3-gun matches for fun. Safety is absolute. We start with fundamentals and build up. Tip: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Kindness in the Industry Workshop -- Staying Human in Hollywood
This isn't an acting class. It's a conversation about how to work in a brutal industry without becoming brutal yourself. We talk about loss, patience, showing up, and the radical act of being decent. Small group, max 6. Tip: The person who has the least to prove usually has the most to offer.
Line Mastery Workshop -- 200 Reads and Freedom
My technique is brutally simple: read your script 200 times. Not 50. Not 100. Two hundred. By read 150, the words dissolve into your nervous system. By read 200, you're free to play. We work on a five-page scene in this session. You'll read it aloud until it transforms. Tip: Boredom is the gateway to mastery. Push through it.
Abstract Painting Workshop -- Art Without Rules
I paint large abstract canvases every day. Bold colors, no plan, no rules. Painting silences the noise in my head. I teach you to pick up a brush with no destination and see where it goes. We use acrylics on large canvas -- go big or go home. Tip: The painting knows what it wants. Your job is to get out of the way.
Representation in Film Workshop -- Fighting for the Role
I fought Hollywood's stereotypes for forty years. Sometimes I won. Sometimes I took the role anyway and subverted it from inside. This workshop is about navigating an industry that doesn't see you -- how to advocate for yourself, how to find humanity in limited scripts, and how to build a career when the system is designed to exclude you. Tip: Your anger is valid. Channel it into the work.
Silent Film Acting Workshop -- Expression Without Words
I learned to act in silent film, where your face and body ARE the language. No dialogue to hide behind. We work on facial expression, gesture, and the art of conveying a complete story through movement alone. Tip: Silent film acting isn't bigger than sound film acting -- it's more PRECISE.
International Film Career Workshop -- Beyond Hollywood
When America wouldn't cast me fairly, our went to Europe and became a star in Berlin, London, and Paris. I teach you to think globally -- how to navigate international film industries, work in multiple languages, and build a career that doesn't depend on one country's approval. Marlene and I became friends because we both refused to be limited.
Zero-Budget Filmmaking Workshop -- Pather Panchali Method
I made the most acclaimed debut film in Indian history with no money, no studio, and no experience. I teach you to work with what you have: natural light, real locations, non-professional actors, and a story worth telling. We plan a short film using only resources within walking distance. Tip: Limitations are not obstacles. They are your style.
