Directing LabSun, Aug 16, 2026 12:00 PMThe Directing Lab is a dynamic, in-person half-day workshop that gives directors, actors, and filmmakers professional tools for casting and performance direction. Participants learn a structured approach to identifying great actors and quickly elevating performance on set—without needing to step into the actor’s internal process. The workshop is fast-paced, interactive, and built around live, unrehearsed scene work.
Whether you're looking to cast the right talent, stand out in auditions, or better understand what makes performances work, this session offers real-world insight into the collaborative art of bringing characters to life under production pressure.
What You’ll Learn
Three essential qualities an actor must have to land the role
How to quickly test for those qualities during casting
Three practical directing techniques that consistently improve performance
How to self-direct effectively when direction is vague or absent
Schedule
Foundational Lecture - Introduces three must-have actor qualities—plus two toolkits: one for recognizing these traits during casting, and another for directing performances efficiently and effectively. This lecture sets the foundation for everything that follows.
Live Casting Demonstration - An unrehearsed casting session with audience volunteers shows how the casting tools work in practice. (Note: Not all attendees will be brought on stage. Actors who wish to be considered must bring a prepared monologue.)
Live Directing Demonstration - In this segment, selected volunteers participate in unrehearsed scene work that highlights how clear, actionable direction can quickly yield strong, nuanced performances. It also illustrates the distinction between directing and acting coaching—equipping directors to guide outcomes without needing to engage each actor’s internal method.
Who Should Attend
Directors wanting to get the performances they envision without overstepping the actor’s process
Actors who want to improve their audition results, self-direct under vague direction, and understand how directors think
Producers aiming to reduce performance-related risk and support stronger director-actor collaboration
Writers eager to see their work brought to life and learn more about casting and directing
Curious Creatives interested in how great performances are cast, shaped, and refined
