The New (& Temporary) Virtual Both Feet

Money Talk
I'll be honest with you, without my teaching I won't earn a penny. Both Feet is my full time job and I'm the sole provider for my lovely little family so I'm not sure what our way through is yet but I'm trusting we will find a way. I also know that you will be in a very similar position and for many of you money is now a serious issue - potentially to the point that it's hard to put food on the table and pay rent let alone pay for training. SO... 
For now all the online stuff, I'll do on a (guilt free) Pay What/If You Can basis and I'll trust that if you can give anything at all, you will and if you can't, from the bottom of my heart, it's OK. Yes, we all have bills and food to pay for, this isn't about money, this is about working together. This is about adjusting and exploring something new, our now. 


(With that out of the way) Let's Play
Obviously there are certain things we can't do online, and that's good, because at least it means that when this all blows over we won't have created a world where everything can be done online so we will have to reconnect in person! BUT there are things we can do, which is ACE. 

Let's keep working, keep challenging ourselves and flexing those muscles. It's good for our head, heart and gut. 

So over the next few days and weeks we'll be releasing some fun challenges and things to do and we'd love for you to get involved. It might be for just you, you and another actor (familiar or not) or even you and your family. Either way, it'll keep you on your toes and ready for anything whilst continuing you on your journey of simplifying, calming the chaos and trusting. 

​We'll be looking at...
  • Daily or weekly challenges - with a slightly competitive edge  - Including...
    • Self tapes
    • Monologues 
    • Scripts 
    • Giving each other given circumstances 
  • Script work / Text analysis practice 
  • Looking at Shakespeare (I'll be drafting in help with that!)
  • Skills sharing
  • Various live streams (gulp) and/or group video/calls to help us connect with grounding, our breath work and general maintenance. 
  • Cold calling with a text (I'm guna have a lot of fun with this one...!)
  • Adam is building a full on self-tape course too which will be awesome
  • I'll see about guest tutors too
  • And of course, if you want to do anything with me on a 1:1 basis, you know where I am!
​
I shall be looking into online platforms which means some of these we can do and share together and others we'll do on a 1:1 or a 2:1 basis. 

They're just the ideas bouncing around atm, I'm sure there's a million more. Do you have any other ideas or things that would be useful to you during this time? Tell me what you need - you know that's the most important starting point for me. Drop me and email stephanie@both-feet.co.uk

ARE YOU IN? ARE YOU UP FOR SOME CHALLENGES AND SOME FUN?

Right, I've been working since 5am so I'm going to switch off now and pick up again tomorrow.
