Gellman is coming to New York for a rare acting workshop series that is sponsored by the not-for-profit, New York based theatre company, Artistic New Directions.

"Students will improve their overall delivery and communications skills that can advance their performance levels."

Gellman’s workshops will cover introductory and advanced acting and improvisational techniques for both long scenic pieces and one-act plays.

The first course offered is an introductory workshop on improvisational techniques designed for inexperienced actors and improvisers. Gellman will reveal his fundamental improvisational techniques, and the course will act as a prerequisite for more advanced workshops.

Students who have completed this introductory workshop can participate in a two-day program that includes workshops specialized for long form performance.

Participants of this course are required to provide a copy of their resume and headshots for enrollment.
