THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE TECHNIQUE™

Lecture and application.

Learn how The Technique™ works, then see how it’s done! Joan Scheckel, creator of The Technique™, introduces SCENE STUDY! Using both lecture and practical application, Joan will reveal the core elements behind The Technique™ and then unpacks how it’s utilized by staging scenes chosen at random from the class.

In these Labs, you will:

1. Understand how a new approach to craft can completely change your game

2. Get an overview of The Technique™ and see how it is used in a lecture-like, rather than highly-physical, setting

3. Understand in practical terms how to apply The Technique™ to your own work

4. Observe Joan work on scenes first-hand, using the same skills she applied to Whale Rider, Little Miss Sunshine, Beginners, and Transparent

5. Learn how to write, direct and act in powerful, unforgettable scenes

Come learn these career-launching tools in SCENE STUDY! Whether you are a new student wanting a real overview, or alumni wanting to see how it all comes together - directors, writers, actors, DP's, editors, producers, and executives all excel when using The Technique™!
