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.
Surrealist Filmmaking Workshop -- Dreams as Cinema
Logic is for accountants. Cinema is for dreamers. I teach you to build a film from images, feelings, and memories instead of plot outlines. We start with your strangest dream and work backward to a script. Tip: The image comes first. Then the meaning. Never the other way around. If you start with a message, you'll make a lecture, not a film.
Italian Cinema History -- Neorealism to Surrealism
We screen one of my films alongside a Rossellini or De Sica film and trace the evolution from neorealism to surrealism. How did Italian cinema go from Bicycle Thieves to 8 1/2 in fifteen years? The answer is autobiographical. We'll trace it together. Nino Rota's music is mandatory.
Sophisticated Comedy Workshop -- Charm as a Weapon
Screwball comedy, romantic comedy, light thriller -- I did them all with one tool: precision disguised as ease. We work on timing, physical comedy, the double-take, and the art of making the audience fall in love with you. Tip: Be faster than the audience expects and slower than they need. That gap is where the laugh lives.
Vintage Suit Collection (1940s-1960s Savile Row Replicas)
Four suits: charcoal flannel (North by Northwest), light gray (To Catch a Thief), midnight navy (Charade), and cream linen (An Affair to Remember). All tailored in the Savile Row style I favored -- natural shoulders, single-vent, drape cut. Tip: A suit should look like you were born in it. If it looks new, it doesn't fit yet.
Gladiator Combat Training -- Arena Fundamentals
One-on-one combat training with wooden practice weapons. Gladius technique, shield work, footwork, reading your opponent. Tip: Never attack first. Let them commit, then make them pay for it. We train until your body remembers what your mind forgets under pressure.
Leadership Under Pressure Workshop -- Small Group
Small group (max 8). How to lead when everything is against you. No resources, no title, no authority -- just the trust of the people next to you. We use historical scenarios and modern case studies. Tip: People follow courage, not rank.
Joan's Banner (Replica -- Fleur-de-lis on White)
Full-size replica of my war banner -- white linen, painted angels, fleur-de-lis, JHESUS MARIA. I carried this instead of a sword. I told the court: I loved my banner forty times more than my sword. The banner never killed anyone. It gave men something to follow.
Highland Guerrilla Tactics Workshop
Hit-and-run from the hills. Ambush techniques, using terrain to negate cavalry, scorched earth defense. How common men with farm tools beat professional knights. Tip: You do not need to win the war in one battle. You need to make the occupation too expensive to maintain.
Book of Five Rings Study Group -- Strategy & Philosophy
Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void. Five books, each covering a different aspect of combat and life. We read, discuss, and practice. The Earth book is foundation. Water is adaptability. Fire is initiative. Wind is understanding others. Void is the state beyond technique. Most people never reach Void.
Desert Guerrilla Tactics Workshop
How 38 warriors evaded 8,000 soldiers for years. Water caching, trail deception, ambush sites, disappearing into terrain. The Apache did not fight battles -- we fought a war of movement. Tip: Never be where they expect you. Move at night, rest by day, leave false trails. Make them chase ghosts.
Psychological Warfare Masterclass -- Break Them Before Battle
How to defeat an enemy before the first arrow flies. Reputation management, terror as strategy, negotiation from strength, making examples. Case studies: my campaigns against Rome, Sherman's March, modern information warfare. Tip: The cheapest victory is the one where the enemy surrenders without a fight.
