May DC Buzz Live Zoom Series: Thurs. 5/28 @ 7pm EST.

Welcome to our May DC BUZZ program-wide event!

Hosted By: DC Course Director for Directing, Tommy Dennis.  

THURSDAY, May. 28th at 7:00 PM EST

In this session, veteran director and acting instructor Tommy Dennis bridges the gap between classical directing methodology and the emerging frontier of A.I.-driven performance. Drawing on 32 years of hands-on experience in both the classroom and on stage and screen, Tommy brings a uniquely authoritative lens to one of the most talked-about shifts in modern storytelling.


Students will explore how the core principles of directing — intention, objective, relationship, and emotional truth — translate into a new language for guiding A.I. characters. The lecture examines both conventional directing techniques (Stanislavski-based approaches, actioning, given circumstances) and emerging A.I.-specific methods for shaping performance, tone, and behavioral nuance.
