Reel Inspiration is hosting a Directing Workshop with master instructor Mark Travis on "Working with Actors in Rehearsal, Staging and Performance." Day 1, Mark will lecture and demonstrate with 3-4 actors the Travis Technique as a powerful tool to explore the characters within the actors. Day 2, pre-selected directors will be coached as they direct two-actor scenes while being observed by an audience of directors and actors.
