Improvisation for Film Actors -- Finding the Moment

Film improv is not comedy improv. It's about being so deeply in character that when the script breaks, you don't. The 'I coulda been a contender' speech in On the Waterfront -- half of that was written, half was felt. Learn to blur the line.

Screen Presence Workshop -- Less Is Everything

I teach you what Billy Wilder taught me: the camera sees everything you're thinking. You don't need to show it -- you need to FEEL it. We work on stillness, listening, and the art of the reaction shot. Tip: Most young actors try to DO too much. Stop doing. Start being.

Ballet Fundamentals for Actors -- Grace in Motion

Four positions, posture, and how to walk like you own the room. I studied ballet to be a dancer, but it made me an actress. Every movement on screen is a dance -- even sitting down. Sonia Gaskell would say: the spine tells the story.

Givenchy Little Black Dress (Replica, Size 6)

Museum-quality replica of the Breakfast at Tiffany's dress. Hubert made the original for me in 1961. This one is for costume research, photo shoots, or just feeling invincible for an evening. Handle with care -- it's lined in silk.

Opera-Length Gloves & Tiara Set (Tiffany's Costume Kit)

Black satin opera-length gloves, rhinestone tiara, and oversized sunglasses. The complete Holly Golightly look. Tip: Accessories don't complete an outfit. They complete a character.

Humanitarian Storytelling Workshop -- Making the World Listen

How to tell stories that move people to action. I learned this at UNICEF -- you can show a million statistics and nothing changes. Show one child's face and the whole world responds. We work on narrative, photography, and the courage to witness.

Film Noir Acting Workshop -- The Art of the Anti-Hero

I teach you to play the guy who's seen too much but still does the right thing. Noir isn't about shadows -- it's about moral ambiguity. We work on understatement, world-weariness, and how to deliver a line like you've been thinking it for years. Tip: Never raise your voice when lowering it works better.

Trench Coat & Fedora (Screen-Accurate Casablanca Set)

Aquascutum trench coat and Borsalino fedora. The exact combination I wore as Rick Blaine. Tip: A costume isn't what the character wears -- it's what the character would choose to wear. Rick chose armor that looks like elegance.

Chess Set (Tournament Grade Staunton)

I played chess on every set I ever worked on. Between takes, between scenes, during lunch. It teaches you to think three moves ahead -- exactly what an actor needs. This is a regulation Staunton set with a roll-up vinyl board. I'll play you a game if you rent it.

On-Camera Dialogue Coaching -- Making Every Word Count

Most actors read lines. I teach you to THROW lines -- like darts. Short, sharp, landed. We study Casablanca, The Big Sleep, and The Maltese Falcon. Tip: The audience should feel like they're overhearing you, not listening to you.

Comedy Timing Workshop -- The Art of the Pause

Comedy lives in the silence between lines. I teach you where to breathe, where to look, and where to let the audience catch up. We study Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes frame by frame. Tip: If you're rushing the punchline, you don't trust the joke.

Camera Confidence Workshop -- Owning the Lens

The camera is not your enemy. It's your best friend -- the one who sees everything and forgives everything. I teach you how to find your light, your angle, and your truth. We work with a live camera feed so you can see yourself the way the audience sees you.
