Story Circle is akin to a university-setting class, where every corner of a (visual) story is addressed through the accessing of multiple layers of content.  Following on the success of STORY CIRCLE v1 (which is still available, on demand, and dives into Les Liaisons Dangereuses -- from the Laclos novel, thru Hampton's play, the resulting film and the spinoff, Valmont), STORY CIRCLE v2 focuses on The Pygmalion -- from Greek myth  to the Victorian era's obsession with it,  Shaw's play of the same name, the film, My Fair Lady (the musical) and "Pretty Woman" (the film).  These two story workshops are intended FOR ACTORS, fostering a community of intelligent and skilled collaborators, inspired  & unafraid to embrace the craft in a dimensioned way, able to independently experiment and create using legitimate resources,in order to compete when auditioning and collaborate when at work.  Classes offered in-person (where/when appropriate), virtually, or a hybrid of both.

Please forward interest directly to MMG.

The Survival Kit workshop (4 hours)...  it's comprehensive and is illuminating, regardless of whether a student has been on set quite a bit or never at all.  It's also an opportunity for parents whose children either have/have not yet been on set.  This workshop walks participants through the entire production process, from development thru to distribution, making clear the actor's participation, responsibilities, and potential contribution to story. It illuminates residuals & pre-payments, casting processes from a production viewpoint, and just who it is an actor should talk to and get to know among the crew.

The one-day, 4hr Text Analysis workshop, "On The Same Page", is where participants prepare an audition, put it on tape when they arrive, work on the text individually & in groups,  addressing story elements, writer "code,"  structure and clues intended for other, non-acting creatives, and then record it again. This rare opportunity shines a bright light on just how important analytic tools are to working actors, prior to investing in the creation of character.  

These classes are a bargain, as the content is so highly valuable and can be directly put into your working practice as actors.
