ACTORS
Are you not performing to your potential? Do you second guess yourself before and after an audition? Do you feel confused with what technique to use that best fits you? Do you feel that you are self sabotaging? Do you have miscommunications with your agent/manager? Does some or all of your performance end up on the editing floor?
Learn a new practical acting system in Actors Preference℠and Actors Expression℠, unique & personal to you, upon which you will build the foundation to become a well rounded actor, thus performing at your highest potential and not second guessing your choices. This acting system will give you the ability and confidence to go after more diverse roles. Utilize Dusa’s 16 Levels, a step by step approach to intense character development, to guide you through character creation & transformation allowing you the best chance to make the final cut. Destructive Preference℠ is an uninhibited exploration of the degree of the pathology & the manifestation of destructive behavior not only for characters but also for ones self. This system will help you understand, make you aware of your flaws and teach you the specific steps to counter your own self sabotaging.
WRITERS
When on "assignment" (either for yourself - a spec, or for a producer with or without a director), have you identified the "preferences" of that party in reaching their goals? When you are working in T.V. or film, are the notes plot-driven or are they about character deficiencies or weak dialogue, for example? Only by identifying and really understanding what your "partners" are looking for and WHY, can you then begin to make changes on the page that they will respond to.
Use Writers Preference℠ to fine tune your script. Learn how to create character specific dialogue. This workshop encompasses all areas of scriptwriting, from development to treatment to coverage to script analysis to pitching, and focuses on creating characters in their specific qualities. Learn to better understand producers notes without taking it personal.
DIRECTORS
On the set, how much time and effort do you put into capturing a shot versus capturing a performance? How successful do you feel in communicating with your actors in order to get the performance you seek? Do you feel more comfortable working on a set-up with your DP than talking with your leads?
Share your vision of the character or shot in the language of your actor. The system will teach you how to mirror others in order to increase the level of communication and productivity on your project. Learn how to communicate in difficult situations and get your point across with the least resistance. Use the preference system to speed up production by eliminating unnecessary conflicts due to miscommunication.
PRODUCERS
When you look for scripts or projects to develop, what are the questions you ask yourself in the selection process? Further, how successful have you been in developing those projects with writers? Is it smooth sailing or a struggle? Do you feel a communication gap between the notes you've delivered and the pages returned as you try to push toward an end-product which captures your initial vision?
Use the preference system to better know and honor how others think, feel and express themselves. The system will teach you how to hire the most productive team to complete your project on time and on budget. Learn to still get the most out of those you come in contact with by picking up the clues that every person exhibits in a manner that creates the least tension.
Anyone with the vision and desire to express themselves in a creative way and better their communication skills will find the Preference Workshops essential and beneficial to their pursuits.
The Piero Dusa Creative Studio will create a specific syllabus for each individual client based on your current level and the goals you want to achieve. For more info contact us at info@pierodusa.com
