A P R I L 2 0 2 6 I 7 • APRIL - UPCOMING EVENT • DGA Director Development Initiative presents: Working with Actors How do television Directors collaborate with Actors on set to create their best work? What strategies might they use to support performances that best serve the story? This session focuses on episodic television Directors' approach to performance and will explore how working with Actors is a collaborative and dynamic process. Led by a panel of experienced episodic television Directors, the attendees of this live lab will learn how to adapt to an Actor's method of reaching their goals, and explore workshop techniques that inspire the best performances. It will also assist those seeking ways to better prepare for their next episodic directing assignment. The DDI Labs focus on education and career development for members interested in episodic television and is designed to provide current information on the Director's craft delivered by experienced Episodic Television Directors. Panelists will be listed online closer to the date of this event. See www.dga.org for updates.
