Join us on Monday September 15th from 6-9 at NOVAC for our "Directors: Working with Actors" Workshop with Tracy Norwood!

This workshop is perfect for first-time through seasoned directors. Serious actors are always training. What We’ll Do:

  • Explore ways in which an actor prepares for a role

  • Equip directors with vocabulary and tools to help them bring out the best performances in their actors.

  • Analyze the director-actor relationship through watching BTS moments on set, improv games, script breakdowns and a mini-scene study.
