A guest teacher workshop with James Dwyer (UCB New York)

James Dwyer - The Death of Irony: A Workshop On Commitment

Learn to stop winking at the audience and start showing off your acting chops. Commit harder to make your scenes simpler and smarter. Through some new exercises I’ve developed and direct feedback, we’ll work to beef up your commitment to the scene to make your shows more accessible, impressive, and honest.

James is an actor and comedian who you may have seen on TV in shows like “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Godfather of Harlem,” or perhaps you saw him in a series of commercial with ALF the puppet. James has performed at the UCB since 2011, formerly on Harold Night, The Law Firm, ASSSSCAT, A Big Dumb Thing, Strife, and many others. You can see him performing around the city with his current team Duchovny.
