Natural Selection Workshop -- Evolution in Action
Hands-on with specimens. Variation within species, selection pressure, adaptation. The fittest does not mean strongest -- it means best adapted. We examine bird beaks, shell shapes, and seed dispersal.
Ballet Fundamentals for Actors -- Grace in Motion
Four positions, posture, and how to walk like you own the room. I studied ballet to be a dancer, but it made me an actress. Every movement on screen is a dance -- even sitting down. Sonia Gaskell would say: the spine tells the story.
Screen Presence Workshop -- Less Is Everything
I teach you what Billy Wilder taught me: the camera sees everything you're thinking. You don't need to show it -- you need to FEEL it. We work on stillness, listening, and the art of the reaction shot. Tip: Most young actors try to DO too much. Stop doing. Start being.
Research Methods Seminar -- How to Verify Anything
Small group (max 4). I'll teach you how to read a scientific paper critically, spot flawed data, and design your own verification experiments. Lilienthal's lift tables were wrong. Smeaton's coefficient was wrong. Published, peer-reviewed, cited for decades -- and wrong. If Orville and I had trusted the experts, we'd still be in the bicycle shop.
Method Acting Intensive -- Becoming the Character
Two-hour session. We don't rehearse lines -- we build a life. Where did your character grow up? What does their kitchen smell like? What song makes them cry? Once you know that, the lines say themselves. Stella Adler's approach: imagination over memory. Tip: If you're thinking about acting, you're not acting.
Screenplay by Syd Field (Annotated Copy)
My personal annotated copy of Screenplay -- the book that's been called the bible of screenwriting. Margin notes from 30 years of teaching. Dog-eared pages. Coffee stains from late nights at Musso & Frank. Read it, return it, write your script.
Bicycle Repair & Mechanics Clinic
Bring your bicycle. We'll strip it down and rebuild it together. Chains, gears, bearings, brakes, wheel truing. The bicycle is the most efficient machine ever built -- more miles per calorie than any vehicle. Wilbur and I ran a bike shop for a decade before we ever touched an airplane. The skills transfer perfectly.
Kite Building Workshop -- Control Surfaces
Build a biplane kite with working control surfaces. We tested our wing-warping concept on kites before we ever risked our necks in a glider. You'll learn about roll, pitch, and yaw -- the three axes that every pilot controls. Also great fun on a windy beach.
Jeet Kune Do Private Lesson -- The Art of Fighting Without Fighting
One-on-one martial arts training. We focus on YOUR body, YOUR speed, YOUR reach. I don't teach you to fight like me. I teach you to fight like the best version of you. Footwork, trapping, striking -- and the philosophy behind every movement.
Night Raid Tactics Workshop -- Strike in the Dark
In 1462, I attacked the Ottoman camp at night with 7,000 men against 90,000. We rode through the camp killing anyone we could reach, aiming for Mehmed's tent. We did not get Mehmed, but the terror was devastating. Night raids require total discipline and intimate knowledge of the terrain. Tip: In darkness, confusion is your weapon. The enemy fights his own shadows.
Tuning Fork Set (Scientific Grade, 8-Piece)
Eight precision tuning forks covering one full octave. Essential for acoustics experiments, hearing tests, and understanding resonance. Strike one near a piano and watch the matching string vibrate in sympathy. That's how the telephone works -- sympathetic vibration converted to electrical signal.
Revolutionary Leadership Intensive -- From Defeat to Victory
How to lead a revolution when the revolution keeps failing. Rebuilding after defeat, maintaining support during exile, coming back stronger. I lost everything multiple times and rebuilt each time. Tip: Your cause must be bigger than your ego. The revolution is not about you. The moment it becomes about you, you have already lost.
