Teacher bios:

Bill Boyle is an award winning screenwriter who has become one of the most popular script consultants in the industry. Creative Screenwriting Magazine rated him among the top 10% of screenwriting consultants. He lectures at universities and film schools throughout Canada and the United States, has taught at UCLA Extensions and is quickly gaining a worldwide following, with clients in North America, Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom. Bill distinguishes himself from most of the other screenwriting gurus in that he also maintains a successful screenwriting career. He is the lead proponent of a visual style of screenwriting called “The Visual Mindscape of the Screenplay” and notes in his book The Visual Mindscape of the Screenplay that the visual mindscape method “… allows the reader or viewer to ‘discover’ elements of the story rather than being told. By being able to actively participate in the unfolding of the story, the overall experience for the reader becomes a more visceral and luminous experience. I feel this is the true magic of the screenplay.”

Bibi Caspari is a personal development coach, a performance artist in mime, dance and movement, and an actress. She has performed internationally on stage, in television, in film and as a soloist with her company, Caspari and Company Mime Dance Theater. She has taught movement, mime and improvisation to children and adults, amateurs and professionals. As a consultant in the personal development field, Bibi has taught presentation and communication skills to professionals and other business people. Her diverse professional background in personal development, production, writing and the performing arts has contributed to her experiential learning and broadened her perspective. Along with her studies in the movement arena, she has explored the human growth potential movement and personal development. These two areas came together in her teaching when she realized that people’s resistances kept them from learning. Bibi began coaching her students in moving through their obstacles. She brought her knowledge of movement and personal development together in a workshop she called Body Image, which was about the body-mind connection, body language and personal presentation. In her consulting practice, Bibi is committed to nurturing her clients’ growth to become more empowered and effective in reaching their goals and creating the lives that they want.
