Audit of Directing Masterclass with Howard Fine

DEGNZ invites members to audit the Directing Masterclass with acting coach Howard Fine who for over a quarter of a century has built an unshakable reputation as one of the most gifted acting teachers of his generation.

Auditing

Over the course of a day, auditors will gain access to Howard’s teaching and award-winning approach to performance as active observers of the Masterclass. You will observe Howard guide the participant directors workshopping scenes with paired actors. Howard will help directors learn how to articulate their visions effectively so that the actors can perform at the highest level.

Grounded in ideas that support authentic human behaviour, Howard’s approach aims to have the actors live authentically in an imaginary set of circumstances able to be newly alive each and every performance.

Auditors are given the opportunity to ask questions, and will be provided beforehand with the texts that the participants will be work-shopping.
