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.
Villain Masterclass -- Stillness as Terror
Hannibal Lecter doesn't move. Doesn't blink. Doesn't raise his voice. And he terrifies every person in the room. I teach you that villainy isn't volume -- it's precision. We work on stillness, vocal control, and the chilling power of a well-timed smile. Tip: The scariest person in the room is the one who's completely comfortable.
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.
Shakespeare Intensive -- King Lear and the Weight of Language
I've played Lear, Othello, Prospero, and Antony. Shakespeare terrifies actors because the language is dense. I teach you to find the human being inside the verse. We work on one soliloquy -- breath, thought, emotion, and the moment where the character breaks through the poetry. Tip: Shakespeare wrote for actors, not scholars. Speak it like a human being.
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.
Vintage Qipao Collection (1920s-1940s Silk Dresses)
Five hand-tailored silk qipao dresses in the styles I wore on screen and in life. Each one is a work of art -- embroidered, fitted, and designed to make a statement. I was the most photographed Asian woman in the world. These dresses are why. Borrow for shoots, exhibitions, or costume reference.
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.
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.
