THE DIRT UNDERNEATH ACTORS' SPACE

At The Dirt John Gordon dishes out some of the most impeccable, insightful, deep-diving, bang-on direction I have witnessed in my 20 years in this business. His workshop that paired working screenwriters (the people running and casting tv shows) with his own acting students was brilliant, invigorating and instructive for both writers and actors. An initiative that points to why John is one of the most exciting acting teachers out there – he’s thinking outside the box, constantly changing up his pedagogy and he works in the very trenches his students go into every day.

I wouldn’t be where I am in this roller coaster world of acting
without John. The Dirt allows me to safely take risks and look at the
variety of ways one can play words off the page. I laugh, I cry, I
surprise myself, I fall on my face then get back up and always go back
for more. John has a terrific way of making you feel like an equal and
the talent in his class never ceases to amaze me.
