DIRECTOR+ACTOR=COLLABORATION class from the Ohio Independent Film Fest

For Immediate Release: April 1, 2002

Contact: Annetta Marion or Bernadette Gillota, Co-Artistic & 
Executive Directors, (216) 651-7315

Cleveland, Ohio: DIRECTOR+ACTOR=COLLABORATION, a hands-on class for 
filmmakers and actors, is a unique offering in the Greater Cleveland 
area and specifically focused on the crucial director/actor 
relationship and collaboration.  Overall purposes of the class: (1) 
How filmmakers can work with actors to obtain desired results; how 
directors can use the acting process to enhance the theme of their 
work. (2) How actors can jump into any moment in a scene and do it 
more truthfully.

DIRECTOR+ACTOR=COLLABORATION explores the crucial actor/director 
relationship in a safe and positive environment.  Actors and 
filmmakers will work in harmony to discover the essence of each 
scene.  A common language will be taught and this will allow those on 
both sides of the camera to better understand each other quickly and 
effectively.  Students will explore conflict, character, mood, and 
action keeping in mind the thematic, visual, sensory and rhythmic 
elements as they break down each scene.  Character development 
(including knowledge and wants) and improvisational skills will be 
heightened as well as the understanding of the mise en scene (the 
main point). Students may bring in their own scenes if they wish, and 
additional scenes will be available as well.  Class assignments will 
include work on nomenclature, body center, silent beats, 1-2 line 
beats, clear beginning/middle/end, and a small scripted scene.  Be 
prepared to take notes, receive handouts and move (dress comfortably).

Location: Gordon Square Arcade conference room, 6516 Detroit Road (at 
West 65th St.)
Time and dates: 6-9p, April 10, 17, 24
