How well do you know your abilities as a performer? How comfortable are you with an audience? There is talent in you that you have not realized yet. And Derek Long's Performance classes will help you find it!
Each class is broken into two parts:
PART I: Movement & Emotion
- We rediscover how we occupy space, and how we share it with others.
- We rediscover movement in categories, and how we can be more specific with it.
- We rediscover body language through mask work, and how we can express beyond facial expressions.
- We rediscover emotion through our 5 senses, and how we can show feelings in different ways.
PART II: Performance
- We establish the class as an audience that is safe and accepting.
- We experience prepared performances of each artist in the class.
- We share positive feedback and revisit performances after the artist is coached and adjusted.
Whether you're a dancer, actor, musician, or any other artist of performance, here is a class that will help you realize your full potential, and help you give just as much to your audience. Join us!

REVIEWS
"Derek is an incredible teacher/actor/guide! His approach is supportive and incredibly relevant. He creates a safe space for people of all backgrounds and experience levels to explore and grow and his methods for approaching the work translates immediately into real-word experience. Can't recommend him enough!"
-Terra K.
"Derek is amazingly intuitive as an actor, teacher and director. He creates a safe environment to stretch and explore your craft and through his instruction using of the Laban method, I've learned to listen to and trust my physical and emotional impulses in my monologue and scene work. And not only this, Derek is a great, upstanding guy."
-Patty C.
