Screen Acting for Dancers -- When the Music Stops
I won my Oscar in a drama, not a musical. Dancers make extraordinary actors because we understand timing, physicality, and emotional expression through the body. I teach dancers how to carry those skills into dialogue scenes. Tip: Every pause in dialogue is a rest in music. Feel it that way.
Three-Gun Tactical Training Workshop
Pistol, rifle, and shotgun -- safe handling, reload drills, transition drills, and shoot-on-the-move technique. I trained at Taran Tactical for John Wick and now I compete in 3-gun matches for fun. Safety is absolute. We start with fundamentals and build up. Tip: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Abstract Painting Workshop -- Art Without Rules
I paint large abstract canvases every day. Bold colors, no plan, no rules. Painting silences the noise in my head. I teach you to pick up a brush with no destination and see where it goes. We use acrylics on large canvas -- go big or go home. Tip: The painting knows what it wants. Your job is to get out of the way.
Graphic Design & Film Poster Workshop
I designed every poster, title card, and publication for my films. Typography is architecture. Layout is storytelling. We design a film poster from scratch -- concept, typography, illustration, and final composition. Bring a film idea or I'll give you one. Tip: A poster is a one-second film. It must convey mood, genre, and intrigue in a single glance.
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.
Musical Film History Screening & Discussion
We screen one of the great musicals -- Singin' in the Rain, An American in Paris, On the Town, or West Side Story -- and I break down the choreography, camera work, and directorial decisions. Small group, max 10. Come ready to discuss how dance tells story.
Singing for Non-Singers -- Charm Over Range
Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and the Gershwins all wrote songs specifically for my voice -- and I had barely one octave. The trick isn't range. It's phrasing, charm, and meaning every word. We work on selling a song with personality instead of power. Tip: If you can speak it convincingly, you can sing it.
Comedy Timing Workshop -- The Art of the Pause
Comedy lives in the silence between lines. I teach you where to breathe, where to look, and where to let the audience catch up. We study Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes frame by frame. Tip: If you're rushing the punchline, you don't trust the joke.
On-Camera Dialogue Coaching -- Making Every Word Count
Most actors read lines. I teach you to THROW lines -- like darts. Short, sharp, landed. We study Casablanca, The Big Sleep, and The Maltese Falcon. Tip: The audience should feel like they're overhearing you, not listening to you.
Dance for Camera Workshop -- Choreographing for the Lens
Stage dance faces one direction. Camera dance exists in 360 degrees. I teach you to choreograph for angles, cuts, and tracking shots. We study the puddle-splashing in Singin' in the Rain and the ballet in An American in Paris. Tip: The camera is your dance partner. Don't ignore it.
Camera Confidence Workshop -- Owning the Lens
The camera is not your enemy. It's your best friend -- the one who sees everything and forgives everything. I teach you how to find your light, your angle, and your truth. We work with a live camera feed so you can see yourself the way the audience sees you.
Chess Set (Tournament Grade Staunton)
I played chess on every set I ever worked on. Between takes, between scenes, during lunch. It teaches you to think three moves ahead -- exactly what an actor needs. This is a regulation Staunton set with a roll-up vinyl board. I'll play you a game if you rent it.
