THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BLOCKING

FEEL YOUR WAY INTO THE FRAME.
BLOCK FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

In Blocking 1, you’ll learn to stage scenes not just for coverage, but for meaning, emotion, and power. This Lab is the foundation of embodied directing, where story, action, and location unite to create images that live in the body, not just on the page.

Across this immersive Lab, you’ll discover how to:

  • 🎬 Use Overall Actions, Supporting Actions, and Beats to block scenes in an organic, revelatory way

  • 🏃🏽‍♀️ Connect Action to Blocking and bring life, tension, and energy to your images

  • 🧱 Block your entire story in a single shot—and understand how shots evolve with rhythm and intention

  • 📍Use location to reveal the emotional core of a scene, not just as background

  • 👪 Build relationships you can feel in every frame

  • ⚡ Block beautifully, fast, and on the fly—without losing depth

  • 🧘🏽‍♀️ Stage the spiritual essence of the story

This is where instinct meets structure, and directors begin to see what the story wants to be—physically, emotionally, visually.

Whether you're a director, actor, writer, DP, or creative executive, Blocking 1 gives you practical, intuitive tools to unlock the truth of your scene and shape it from the inside out.
