Clowning

Being 'present' and 'in the moment' is an essential part of being an actor.
Inspired by the worlds of clowning and improvisation, this workshop will help you stop acting, and instead, learn to react instinctively, truthfully.

View Points

Viewpoints is a movement-based pedagogical and artistic practice that provides a framework for creating and analysing performance by exploring spatial relationships, shape, time, emotion, movement mechanics, and the materiality of the actor's body. Viewpoints operate as a medium for thinking about and acting upon movement, gesture, and the creative use of space.

Michael Chekhov

Michael Chekhov is an incredibly important figure in the craft of acting and he is integral to the overall history of drama. The Chekhov Technique is a “psycho-physical” approach to acting and seeks to ground emotion through physical gestures; it links physicality and movement to emotion.

Stage Fighting

Meisner

Meisner’s technique stands out from other naturalistic acting methods because it relies on motivated impulses over intellect. As a teacher, Meisner was well-known for encouraging his students not to “think too much.” His approach is defined by the verbal repetition exercises he developed to build connections between actors quickly. Many actors believe that these exercises are the key to unlocking authentic characters.
