The Mastery

Self-knowledge is best learned not by contemplation, but by action. –Goethe

The MASTERY is a weekend workshop created by Dan Fauci, founder of the Actor’s Institute in New York. Dan was an executive at Paramount Pictures for eleven years and became Senior Vice President of Television Comedy Development in 1991. Dan recently forged a development deal with Paramount and founded Fauci Productions, Inc. where he is creating new film and television projects.

Dan Fauci has been involved in creative expression and teaching for more than 25 years, and created the MASTERY in 1976 as a forum to help people take their lives and their careers to a new level of passion and enjoyment. What really fuels and what stops our self-expression and creativity? The MASTERY deals with the issues of self-esteem, communication, emotional expression, and vulnerability in an atmosphere of support and determination that allows you to push yourself through whatever blocks you may have. It also focuses on putting you in touch with your own uniqueness, what makes you special, and gives you an experience of how you are perceived in the world by others. A very challenging weekend, and very rewarding.
