Easter Intensive (4 or 5-days)
Managing the Actors Mind
Over 4 or 5 days explore the blocks that hold your acting back. This workshop was enormously successful in the Summer Intensive this year. If you missed it here is the chance to resolve the anxieties that consistently get in the way of you being a free and playful actor.
Best selling psychologist Daniel Kahneman explains that we frequently make decisions without knowing that we have made them. Those are the decisions you can't manage because you aren't aware that they are in place. In a very supportive environment you can discover the hiccups in your acting that prevent you from being rich and real. You will be surprised what you discover. You will learn practical skills to overcome those acting speedhumps and smooth out your performance process.

The Rehearsal Room provides a supportive environment to enable you to learn quickly and make clear progress. If you have to miss a class it might be possible for you to come an hour earlier for the next week's session to catch you up on the theory that you have missed. Two free one hour catch up sessions are included in your term fee. After that you may have to pay for a private catch up lesson at $70 per hour. Early notification if you can't attend a class is always helpful. That way we can plan ahead.
