Sean Boyd got his start behind the camera as a director, producer and one-man video-producing machine with his company Utv Productions. A member of the Actor's Equity Association, he has acted for regional theatres across the country including the Sacramento Music Circus, the Nevada Conservatory Theatre, the Neil Simon Festival, Bard in the Quad and the Genesis Shakespeare Company. Boyd also has appeared in a number of commercials, and on TV in “North Mission Road" and "LAPD: Scientific Investigations”. Sean continues to stay busy in film; recently completing projects with Ewan McGregor in “I Love You Phillip Morris”, and Nick Cage and internationally recognized director Werner Herzog in “The Bad Lieutenant: Port of New Orleans”.
Boyd is a recognized faculty member of Michael Lugering's Expressive Actor technique and is first to attain the distinction of Full Teacher. This innovative and practical approach to training the "total actor," the traditionally disparate disciplines of acting, movement and voice are synthesized in a unified method of training. Additionally, he has invested most of his personal training towards the understanding and development of the physical life of the actor; exploring the work of Chekhov, Grotowski, Laban and Commedia Dell' Arte. Sean also brings his experience as a certified teacher of Vinyasa and Hatha into his voice and movement work. By integrating this specialized training, the students gain additional access and command over their instrument not afforded to them in traditional practice.
As a fight director and instructor, Boyd has directed fights for regional theatres and independent film features in Nevada, California, Oklahoma and Missouri, including the Sacramento Music Circus, Nevada Conservatory Theatre, Cockroach Theatre, and Genesis Shakespeare Festival, as well as the new national tours of "Camelot" with Michael York & Lou Diamond Phillips. He is a recognized Fight Instructor, Fight Director and Master Combatant with Dueling Arts International, and actor/combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors and a 1st Degree Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. Boyd has been teaching martial arts, yoga and theatrical combat for over 20 years and has worked with Dueling Arts International since January 2000.
