The purpose of this live, in-person, 3-day training is to empower coaches, teachers, directors, etc. —those who take on the responsibility of shaping artists’ futures—by equipping them with an array of new tools and techniques for their coaching toolbox.

This training is specifically designed for someone who:

• Is already working with professional performing artists

OR

• Is a professor in a training program or conservatory focused on guiding artists into the profession after graduation.

During the retreat, I’ll share many of the exercises I've created over the last 20 years at JWS. I’ll offer best practices on why, how, and when to apply them effectively and discuss strategies for drawing extraordinary work from the artists you coach. Additionally, I’ll guide you in creating your own exercises. The best part? We'll put these exercises and philosophies into action in real-time sessions with actual actors.

You’ll leave the 3 days with tons of fresh ideas to make progress with your clients/students, clarity about your own teaching philosophy, and lots of new colleagues. It will be a creative, intense, fulfilling, and challenging weekend — who could ask for anything more?
