In the Sandbox - The Travis Technique

The Travis Technique, developed by director Mark W. Travis, is a transformational approach to Story, Characters and Scene. For directors it offers a way to go beyond traditional directing and venture into inspired and impactful collaboration with the characters. Writers learn to engage with their characters up-close, live and in person. And actors get to step back and allow their characters to fully emerge from within. In this webinar Mark Travis will cover the following topics:

The Four Elements of a Screenplay and the Missing Fifth

  • Character Creation and Development
  • The Untapped Power of Actors
  • When Directors Need to Stop Directing
  • The Complex Actor-Director Relationship
  • What Writers and Actors Have in Common
  • The Ups and Downs of Creative Control
  • The Actor’s Plan versus the Character’s Plan
  • The Genesis of The Travis Technique
  • The Committee
  • Directing the Character – Not the Actor
  • The Sandbox
