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.
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.
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.
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.
Natural Screen Acting Workshop -- No Makeup, No Tricks
I refused the Hollywood makeover. My eyebrows stayed thick, my name stayed Swedish, and the camera loved me anyway. I teach you to show up as yourself and let that be enough. We work on emotional transparency, natural movement, and the courage to be imperfect on camera. Tip: Beauty fades. Honesty doesn't.
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.
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.
Italian Comedy Masterclass -- Commedia dell'Arte to Screen
From Harlequin to Totò to Marcello Mastroianni -- Italian comedy is a tradition spanning centuries. I teach the physical comedy, the timing, and the heartbreak underneath the laughter. We work scenes from Marriage Italian Style and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Marcello was my greatest screen partner. The chemistry was real -- the love was professional.
Intensity Workshop -- The Quiet Before the Explosion
Michael Corleone is quiet for two hours before he pulls the trigger. Tony Montana never stops burning. I teach both -- controlled intensity and unleashed fire. We work on building emotional pressure in a scene until the release is inevitable. Tip: The explosion means nothing without the silence that precedes it.
Shakespeare for Screen Actors -- Making the Bard Breathe
I directed and starred in Looking for Richard because Shakespeare terrified me -- and the only way past fear is through it. We work on verse-speaking, iambic pentameter as BREATH not math, and finding the modern man inside the Elizabethan language. Richard III is our text. Bring your courage.
Monologue Coaching -- One Voice, Full Room
Audition monologue, film monologue, stage monologue -- each needs different calibration. I'll coach your piece line by line. We work on breath, beats, subtext, and the moment you stop performing and start LIVING the text. Tip: The best monologue sounds like a conversation with someone who isn't there.
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.
