The Big Swing with Sam Rogal
Class Description
This workshop is about making big choices in a measured intelligent way. You'll learn to make big confident moves and follow through with them. You'll learn when and how to make these moves and maintain them through a scene and form without steamrolling your scene partner. The workshop will also cover how to support your scene partners big swing while maintaining your own presence in the scene. Swing big and make it count.
