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.
Samurai Screen Combat Workshop -- The Way of the Blade
Katana work for film. Proper draw, strike, and resheath. We use bokken (wooden swords) first, then move to iaito (blunt steel). I'll teach you the difference between real kenjutsu and what looks good on camera. Kurosawa insisted on realism -- the audience can feel a fake swing. Tip: Speed comes from relaxation, not tension.
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.
Storyboard Workshop -- Drawing Your Film Before You Shoot
I painted full-color storyboards for every scene in my later films -- Kagemusha, Ran, Dreams. They're works of art on their own. You don't need to be a great painter. You need to THINK visually. We work with watercolors and ink. Bring your script and we'll draw your film.
Film Editing Workshop -- The Invisible Art
Editing is where the film is truly made. I'll show you how a two-second cut changes everything -- mood, pace, meaning. We work with actual footage. I cut on a Moviola for forty years. Digital is faster but the principles are eternal: rhythm, contrast, surprise. Tip: The best cut is the one the audience doesn't notice.
Voice & Delivery Workshop -- Every Syllable Is a Weapon
My voice was my signature. Clipped, precise, weaponized. I teach you to use rhythm, pause, and emphasis to make every line land. We work on monologues from All About Eve and The Little Foxes. Tip: Slow down. The audience hangs on the pause, not the word.
Crash Mats & Safety Pads (Full Stunt Kit)
Eight crash mats in various sizes, knee pads, elbow pads, and a body harness. This is the safety equipment my stunt team uses for medium-height falls and wall work. Tip: Never do a stunt for the first time on camera. Rehearse until the fear becomes respect.
The Anti-Hero Workshop -- Power Through Silence
The Man With No Name, Dirty Harry, William Munny. Three different decades, one technique: say less, mean more. I teach you to hold a scene with a look, a squint, and a well-timed pause. We work on screen economy -- every gesture must earn its place.
Jazz Piano Session -- Improvisation and Film Scoring
I've composed scores for many of my own films. Jazz is conversation -- you listen, you respond, you leave space. We work on basic piano improvisation over blues and jazz standards. No sheet music. Tip: The notes you DON'T play are just as important as the ones you do. Same in acting. Same in life.
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.
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.
