Who’s it for?
This retreat is available for any professional and emerging actor serious about their craft and their career. (18+) Why this course? In one way or another we’ve all done a load of changing over the last year or two. This course is an opportunity to come to rural Wales to reflect, fully embody, appreciate and reconnect with yourself, your craft and each other whilst breathing in the fresh country air, having a huge amount of fun and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. As an acting coach I won’t teach you how to put on a show, I’ll offer you ways to safely take it off. I’ll remind you what’s underneath the programmed behaviors you’ve developed over your lifetime so you can be available to live truthfully under any given circumstances of any character, of any story. We’ll explore what it is to listen fully and openly. To be instinctive and impulsive. To be honest. In that exploration, we’ll look at what gets in your way. We’ll hold a mirror up so you can get to know your tool deeply and how to use it creatively, safely and purposefully. The Meisner Technique is the best way I know how to do this. Together with my coach training, the step by step exercises of the Meisner Technique and the immersion with the great outdoors we’ll drop the training from your head down into your body so you can feel what it is to act from your gut. We’ll relearn how to listen on a night walk, We'll calm the chaos on the white waters, We’ll connect with our breath, the earth and everything in-between to ground your craft. You will not forget it. Join us? Steph x |
