Blocking Workshop with Rachel Goldberg at The Wrap’s Power Women’s Summit
AWD is presenting the workshop, “Mastering the Scene: Live Blocking with an AWD Icon,” with Rachel Goldberg (“Neighbors,” “Agatha All Along,” “Gen V”) at 1:50p PT at The Wrap’s Power Women Summit on Dec. 2nd.
Rachel will walk participants through the art of blocking, breaking down a scene in real time. This hands-on demonstration gives directors a rare look into how seasoned filmmakers shape performance, composition, and pacing – skills they can immediately apply to their own projects.
