Master Scene Structure!

Do you find the concept of Beats vague? Does finding Beats in a scene become a battle? 

It doesn't have to be this way. 

The Beats Series gives you clear, straightforward guidance on how to use Beats to create structure. 

This series will:

• Show you how to use Beats as guideposts, not roadblocks.
• Teach you how Beats create rhythm and meaning in your story.
• Guide you on how to take them from the script to the screen!

This ultimate combo is designed to help you understand, embody and utilize Beats. Write visceral scenes, unleash authentic performances and create surprising, organic blocking on the fly!

Over 38 hours of compelling lectures, script analysis, and embodied work.

These lectures were given via Zoom to a core group of Advanced Alumni during the pandemic. Deep artistic exploration charges every course with vitality and insight. We really got down to it! Now, as Alumni of the first live Action Lab in 2 years, we want to share these courses with YOU.

The passion and rigor you brought to the floor was THRILLING, and in response, in gratitude, the FLMS team has created this rare series for you! Reach out to us if you have any questions - we're excited to hear what you think!
