Masterclass - Directing and writing with Bob Dolman

This is a specially designed masterclass for directors, screenwriters and actors. It is a unique opportunity to collaborate and create scenes that will be performed in class, under Bob’s supervision and instruction. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to help you develop material that you can produce or market to production companies.

For Directors

You will hone your skills by working with scripts written by writers in the class, by blocking scenes, and by directing actors. Nothing is more instructive than the actual experience of directing—and Bob will guide you with his own experience as a writer/director.

For Screenwriters

You will have the golden opportunity to experience what happens to scenes you’ve written when it’s brought to life by directors and writers. You yourself may choose to direct what you’ve written. You might even want to act!

For Actors

You will get to practice your art of acting in ways you can never do alone. You’ll receive written script material. You’ll be directed through rehearsal and performance. And you’ll be working with other actors. And you may choose to write and/or direct yourselves.

Bob will oversee all of the scenes created in this masterclass. He has worked as a Hollywood screenwriter and director with actors like Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon, and has written screenplays for George Lucas and Ron Howard. He has worked as a writer on several television shows as well. He is a beloved teacher and coach at our studio.

From Bob:

This is a hands-on workshop in which scenes are created, directed and performed by the participants, under my guidance as a professional director and screenwriter.

It’s an exciting opportunity, not only to develop your chosen skill but to go beyond it, if you choose to. Writers will have the chance to direct their own written material. Directors can write scenes and even perform in them. And actors can discover what it’s like to direct and write. You will find that by stepping out of your own box, you will expand your knowledge of filmmaking in general.

And most enriching of all, you will have the experience of practicing your art in a community of fellow artists. Actors: you’ll get to be directed in written scenes. Writers: you’ll get to see and hear your material performed. Directors: you’ll have writers and actors to collaborate with—and an audience as well!

I’ve now taught this workshop several times at Cinemantrix and I love doing so because its energy, fueled by co-creation, stretches everyone’s capabilities. How? Because we’re not only learning—we’re doing, discovering through experience, trying things out and giving one another helpful feedback. It’s work, but it’s also play—and great imaginative fun.

We welcome all levels of experience and invite newcomers as well as those who’ve taken this workshop before: you’ll surpass what you’ve already learned and take yourself to another level.

I look forward to meeting you!
