CLASSES + WORKSHOPS

Christopher has been teaching in the classroom for 35+ years.

Teaching Philosophy

 

True north for me is the story. 

On stage, on camera, in rehearsal, in an audition…
Story is where I put my focus.

What is the story?

What is our function in the story?

How can we dedicate all of our work and energy to the life of the story?

That is how I work.

That is how I teach.

That is how I coach.

-Christopher Gurr
