The David Rotenberg Technique

Led by Melee Hutton
Award-winning Actor | Master Teacher | On-Set Acting Coach

A Leading Practitioner of the Rotenberg Technique

A rich and transformative workshop offering a rigorous, embodied approach to contemporary screen acting–grounded in the work of David Rotenberg and brought to life through its vocabulary and techniques. Designed for acting teachers, this intensive explores how the work can be clearly articulated, transmitted, and applied within the studio and on set.

Designed for acting teachers and program faculty ready to deepen their practice and develop a dynamic on-camera curriculum within their department.
  • Do you find yourself searching for the right words when teaching on-camera work?

  • Are you looking to take your students further, but want a clearer, more confident understanding of how on-camera performance differs from theatre?

  • Are you looking to deepen your own practice and refine your craft—while connecting and collaborating with other passionate teachers?

  • Interested in gaining practical tools and techniques you can immediately bring into your classroom?

  • Looking to build or strengthen an on-camera curriculum that reflects current industry practices?

Join us for a two-part workshop designed to transform how you think about and articulate, on-camera acting.
