Jeanne Hartman's Workshops

Ms Jeanne Hartman, a renowned Hollywood acting coach who is known as “The Actor’s Detective”, will be in Hong Kong from May 16th to 30th, 2012, to teach two 2-day workshops for actors; a 4-night workshop for scriptwriters, and private coaching sessions for actors and corporate executives.

And for the first time, Ms. Hartman will be bringing her 2-Day Acting Intensive Workshop to Manila, Philippines on June 2nd and 3rd.

This will be Ms Hartman’s 8th visit to Hong Kong, and her teaching is clearly effective – six participants in her previous acting workshops in Hong Kong were recently cast in a major Hollywood production, The Man With The Iron Fists. This action martial-arts film, starring Russell Crowe, Pam Grier and Lucy Liu, was filmed in China and is due for release in late 2013.

Hong Kong-based British-Chinese actor Mr Jason Tobin, a keen student of Ms Hartman who organises her visits to Hong Kong, reported that many of her students return again and again to take her classes. “Jeanne always brings new scripts and exercises for us to work on, and we always learn something new. She has a saying: ‘Good enough is never good enough’, and she encourages everyone to ‘prepare, practise, perfect’ their craft. What I also love about Jeanne’s workshops is that everyone participates – there are no shy observers.”

Some of Ms. Hartman's students were recently cast in the Russell Crowe film, "The Man with the Iron Fists". Here is what some of them had to say:

"She's organized, she's flexible and she comes prepared. Different actors study different systems from different instructors and have different styles. Jeanne takes that into account and helps the performer improve their own approach to the craft. The mark of a good instructor in my mind pushes a performer to go outside their comfort zone and helps them learn to be comfortable there only long enough to push them out again. Jeanne does that."

- Osric Chau, "The Man with the Iron Fists", "What Women Want"

"Jeanne has taken my abilities to the next level. I have learned from her how to trust my role preparation and just let it take me where it takes me when I perform. This alone has truly been a liberating feeling for which I have recently received praise from directors & producers. Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out, she teaches me something new and valuable every time. Jeanne really is “The Actor’s Detective”."

- Darren E. Scott, "The Man with the Iron Fists", "Supercapitalist"

“JEANNE! YOU ROCK! Jeanne's teaching was so accurate, this class has given me lots of answers to my questions for so long in my acting career. This was a very important lesson for me, it's shown me the right mindset on acting and script acknowledgement and so much. I'm so excited about my next film project which will start shooting in a week, I think I'll do so much better!”

- Josie Ho, "Contagion", "Streetfighter: The Legend of Chun-Li"

“It was a great time experimenting as well as watching my other classmates work as well. It's kind of like a good personal training session at the gym for actors. It's not often that actors in Hong Kong get a chance to attend things like these. Even if you aren't thinking about being a professional actor this workshop can help you with other things like public speaking and boosting your confidence and it's a whole lot of fun too!”

- Daniel Wu, "New Police Story", "Triple Tap"
