In Between The Lines. Anatomy of a Scene with LA Based Bonnie Root!

SEATTLE/TACOMA
December 3rd and 4th.
IN BETWEEN THE LINES. An Anatomy of a Scene with LA-Based Bonnie Root!
In this two-day workshop, you will break down, step by step, one scene, over the course of the two days. You will receive personalized and meaningful coaching throughout, culminating in a final taping and feedback.
We will focus and ask questions together to reveal the layers of history, point of view, relationship, emotion, obstacles, environment, tone, pacing, and more, that the writer has provided on the page.
Then we will get you on your feet to alchemize all of these details into an emotionally authentic, grounded, and personalized performance. The goal is to have you walk away with a process of discovery that boosts your consistency and confidence in your craft!

If you only come on Sunday you can do the homework on Saturday on your own. I can send it to you in an email packet one week prior to the workshop and you can come Sunday for the final coaching and taping.

Lightsaber Combat for Movies!

SEATTLE/TACOMA
Lightsaber Combat for Movies!
 
Unleash your inner Jedi!
 
This dynamic and fun workshop introduces a “realistic” approach to lightsaber combat. Pulling from the Japanese sword, escrima, and European sword point work, students will explore how to safely perform with a popular weapon to make it look dangerous and exciting on film. Students will learn the accompanying footwork, handwork, and safety to perform choreographed sequences. We will examine lightsaber combat’s different styles, stances, and flourishes. In addition, examples of films will be shown, and a discussion will be held on what works, what doesn’t, and why.
Students are welcome to bring their own lightsaber to class if they have one.
 
When: Sunday, September 25th, 1:00-5:00 PM
 
Where: Freedom Martial Arts
2908 Meridian Ave E #107
Edgewood, WA 98371
 
Price: $140
