I believe the young actor needs to discover throughout the training process, as in real life, his or her own self-worth; as he or she (like the Hero of any good story) rises to triumph from the challenges feared and faced". I designed and have taught this reality almost two decades ago. This reality I call, empowerment through the lens of the camera". This is my teaching principle. It's an emotional obstacle course everyone can benefit from.
