Play.
Explore.
Expand.
Be inspired.
Breathe life
back into
your craft
Maybe you're wanting to gain more experience in text work.
Or you're needing to re/build your confidence.
Or perhaps there's a part of you you're wanting to safely explore.
Or you're seeking inspiration.
​
If you've got a fire in your belly, this is the place for you. Come and immerse yourself with other actors by spending 2.5 days exploring and playing with character, scenes and given circumstances.
​
It is a safe place to expand your craft, breathe life into your technique and remember how easy it is to let go.
​
We'll work in ways you don't normally blend with your craft - we'll swim, walk, move, breathe, make fire and share space and meals. What more could you ask for?!

How do I get to my Both Feet Actor Training Retreat?It's easier to get to us than you think! All our retreats are run from our home base Bodlondeb Studio & Retreat: Bodlondeb Studio & Retreat Dinmael, Corwen, LL21 0NY You can get here by plane, train, bus or car - https://www.both-feet.co.uk/find-us Good to know: In order to ensure all retreat participants can have as much fun as possible, we try to encourage roughly three - four people from each group to drive. Often groups under this number will come together and hire a car for the period to allow flexibility. (This can be confirmed the week prior to your retreat when your groups WhatsApp chat group is created.)
