Directing With Transactional Analysis

by Bobbie Dee

For directors, guiding actors to convey subtext is a delicate and often elusive art. One approach that can offer profound insight into this process is Transactional Analysis (TA), a psychological framework developed by Dr. Eric Berne in the late 1950s. TA's principles can be employed to deepen the relational dynamics between characters, providing actors with a powerful tool to explore and express the underlying psychological currents driving their actions.

Winter's Bone (Granik, 2010)

In this article, we explore how directors can apply TA in performance direction, using examples from independent films where these ideas have been effectively harnessed to create richer, more complex narratives.

🔗 Read the full article here and discover how psychological insight can transform your work with actors. And if you're looking to take your directing skills even further, join me for The Art of Directing Actors—a hands-on workshop designed to help filmmakers bring out the best in their cast.
