GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY - YOU CAN MEDITATE YEAH - BUT CAN YOU ACT?

there is no formula to acting - no trick - no spin guru for this one
it is about breath- about utterance - about physical balance
it is about tuning the only instrument the actor has: THEMSELVES!

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE – DYNAMIC BREATHING - are used along the way in this intensive course that shall help to smash the wall!
Don’t be DUMBED-DOWN by productions that just want a 'type'.
what does 'BEING CENTRED' mean? - what is 'STAGE WEIGHT' or 'SCREEN
PRESENCE'? what is that 'SOMETHING' that makes you want to watch a dog
or a child, but turn off when an actor comes on pulling all stops?
what does 'BEING STILL mean? - "WHY DON’T I GET THAT LAUGH?" screams the actor.
why do actors fall for the trap of END-GAINING - and what does that mean anyhow??

and creating new theatre. He has produced and directed many award
winning short films and documentaries and he created the most
