Cyn - Patricia's style is to start the model in a certain pose or even just an orientation. You begin there and then she gives a sort of target pose or orientation and has the model move to it. Sometimes moving at normal speed and then sometimes very, very slowly. There were also times we just let the model play with a pose. She would direct with something like "turn slowly, but use your space ... use it how you want ... the space belongs to you, it's all yours." I also love the way she uses descriptive terms. It's something I want to practice. For instance, when I was directing I was having a hard time telling the model how I wanted her to move a piece of fabric. I knew in my mind I wanted it to begin drapping down, but I couldn't form the words. Patricia jumped in to help and easily conveyed everything I was trying to say with "Let the fabric slowly pour off your body." Misha and Fire - Definitely everything I was hoping it would be and more. The one-on-one aspect is killer. There is no way I could have gotten this level of interaction in any class or workshop.
