Derek has also received instruction at the highest level in the approaches of Warner Loughlin, Ivana Chubbuck, Susan Batson, and Eric Morris, among others.

The great Actors of the past often discipled themselves to their teachers, as Brando and De Niro did with Stella Adler, Pacino with Lee Strasberg, Robert Duvall and Sydney Pollack with Sanford Meisner --

                                                          -- just as Adler, Strasberg, and Meisner discipled themselves to the ideals of Stanislavski.

                                 Directors like Elia Kazan and Sydney Pollack brought their                                    understanding and process from this world to the other side of the camera.

The ensuing collaborations resulted in some of the greatest Acting performances in history.
