Event Description
The IAA September workshop will focus on Dramatic Improv and being in the moment.
We will cover:
*High Stakes Scene Structure (Improv)
*Relationship Communication
*Listening
*Subtext
*Subtlety
*Intimacy
*Vulnerability
*Stillness and the power of quiet
Dramatic Improv is foundational to the craft and helps the actor develop a strong sense of communication (both
verbal and non-verbal) with their scene partner which also translates to
the audience. It develops a strong relationship to listening, and subtext within existing material, as well as developing in the moment awareness and emotional connection.

capacities ranging from actor to post production and has also
performed in over 300 theatrical productions.
Jim
is the chief instructor at both the Southeast Actors Academy and Indy
Actors Academy where he approaches the craft much like the blended
martial arts, incorporating a variety of techniques and philosophies
creating his own unique approach to the craft and helping the student
discover what works most effectively for them to develop their role
and serve the story.
Jim studied theatre and film at Indiana University and later

Howard, Lew Temple, Marc Menchaca and Kevin Spacey.
His most recent screen work includes appearances on NBC's Chicago PD, CBS' The Inspectors, the NatGeo film Killing Reagan, and an upcoming appearance in Netflix's House of Cards.
Jim's diversified background, both on camera and
in production and post production, has contributed to his teaching
and the development of his student's skill and awareness of both
production and post production needs.
