Actors Stretch Retreat

This retreat is available for actors who have already started their Meisner training with us (talk to us if you're unsure).

What is it?

This is an immersive weekend with beautiful people, your craft, your humaning and the countryside.

Let’s keep it simple:

Over our weekend together you will continue to be challenged as a human and an actor as we have a biiiig stretch of those acting muscles - as always, you as a group will determine exactly what that will look, sound and feel like.

We’ll connect to our deep sense of self, we’ll continue to practise grounding and stability and what it is to be present because without it you won’t be a present and safe actor.

And it wouldn’t be a retreat if we didn’t get outside to deepen that learning, what that looks like will depend on you and the weather.

Listening, trusting, leaning into the fear and jumping are all phrases you’ll be familiar with. This course will give your body a full experience of what that really means.
