Board Breaking Kit (Pine + Rebreakable Plastic)
Stack of 1-inch pine boards plus rebreakable plastic boards in 5 difficulty levels. Tip: Breaking boards is not about strength. It's about focus, follow-through, and believing your hand goes THROUGH the board, not TO it.
Method Acting Books (Strasberg + Chekhov Collection)
My personal copies of Strasberg's Dream of Passion and Chekhov's To the Actor. Annotated in my handwriting. These are the two books that made me a real actress instead of just a movie star. Read both -- they contradict each other and that's the point.
Film Directing Fundamentals -- Telling the Story Through the Lens
I directed nine films. The trick is knowing what the camera should see versus what the audience should feel. Those are often different things. We work on shot selection, actor direction, and visual storytelling. Bring a short script and we'll storyboard it together.
Public Speaking Masterclass -- The Voice That Cannot Be Ignored
Whether you're addressing a boardroom or a protest march, your voice must carry conviction. I'll teach you pacing, breath control, and how to land a sentence so it stays in the room after you've left. Harry and I spoke at the March on Washington. The microphone helps, but the message does the work.
Physical Acting Masterclass -- The Body Tells the Story
I never went to acting school. I learned by doing. My body was my instrument -- the way I scratched, squatted, spat, laughed. Kurosawa once told me to watch how animals move. A tiger doesn't announce itself. It moves, and you KNOW it's a tiger. We work on physicality, gesture, and primal energy.
Kurosawa Film Library (Criterion Collection Box Set)
Twenty-five films on Blu-ray. Rashomon through Madadayo. Every film has commentary tracks and my own notes. Watch them in order and you'll see an artist evolve over fifty years. Start with Stray Dog if you want noir. Start with Ikiru if you want to cry.
Photography Fundamentals -- Seeing Before Shooting
I was a Look Magazine photographer before I was a filmmaker. Still photography teaches you composition in ways no film school can. One frame. One moment. No second chances. We shoot on the street with 35mm cameras. Tip: The subject is never the subject. The LIGHT on the subject is the subject.
Playing the Villain -- Making Evil Magnetic
My best roles were women the audience shouldn't root for -- and did anyway. Margo Channing, Baby Jane Hudson, Regina Giddens. The secret? Villains believe they're the hero. Play their conviction, not their cruelty. We build three-dimensional antagonists in this workshop.
Radio Drama Production Workshop -- Theatre of the Mind
No picture. No set. Just voices, sound effects, and the listener's imagination. I panicked a nation with War of the Worlds using nothing but a microphone and clever editing. Radio drama is the purest form of storytelling. We write, record, and produce a 10-minute piece in one session.
Boxing Training Session -- Raging Bull Fundamentals
Jake LaMotta trained me for a year. I learned jab, cross, hook, uppercut, and the footwork of a middleweight. Boxing teaches you rhythm, distance, and controlled aggression -- all of which translate directly to screen performance. We wrap hands, hit bags, and spar light.
Boxing Gear Set (Gloves, Wraps, Heavy Bag)
16oz training gloves, 180-inch hand wraps, and a 70lb heavy bag with ceiling mount. The same weight class gear I trained with for Raging Bull. Hit the bag for twenty minutes and tell me acting isn't physical work.
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.
