GET CLEAR ON HOW ACTIONS REALLY DETERMINE THE BEATS AND RHYTHM OF A SCENE - THIS COURSE IS STRUCTURAL GOLD!

 

BEATS 1: THE CLASSICS is an Alumni Only, Advanced Online Course, that dives into classic plays and movies to reveal the hidden architecture that makes the great scenes tick. Led by Joan Scheckel, Executive Producer of Beginners, Producer of I Love Dick, Consulting Producer of Transparent, and the creator of The Technique™BEATS 1: THE CLASSICS breaks down scenes from the Greeks, to show you structure at its most clear and conscious!

 

When writing, directing or acting, it’s tempting to go for a perfect, polished "bit". But this chops up the thought of the scene, making it difficult to shoot, edit, pace - plus it’s tough for the audience to follow!

 

Use these practical tools to structure your film or episodic, unleash authentic performances, and express your directorial vision. 


In one essential, craft-packed weekend learn how to:

  1. Outline the Actions that really determine the Beats and rhythm of a scene

  2. Delineate Beats from Mini Beats and Moments

  3. Structure your screenplay with rhythm and pacing


Structure is music. Learn how to get with the Beat and make your scenes SING!

 

Whether you are Directing, Writing, Acting, or Producing, The Technique™ is essential in taking your career to the next level.
