Actors Coaching International
){kind=logo}
We don’t tell you how to act. You already know how to act.
This isn’t a regular acting class. We don’t tell you how to act. You already know how to act. You already know how to get what you want and have been practicing it ever since you were born.
You are adaptable, smart, have natural instincts and have been using every technique available to you from shouting through to crying, silence, a tilting of the head, a raising of the eyebrow, lust, tantrums, solitude, laughter, connection.
I recently met with someone who said she wanted to be an actor, she said “I’m 40, I’ve had no training, I don’t know how to act”.
I said “If you’ve ever be in a relationship, if you’ve ever had a family, ever had a job, ever lived…. you know how to act’. We ALL do.“
In class, we overcome the barriers which have been placed in front of ourselves, that stop us from feeling. The walls put in place to protect ourselves, the limiting stories we have told over the years that have, generally, been bestowed upon us by others (our parents, teachers, friends, partners). The ways in which we numb, zone out, and the habits we use to get through this hot mess called life.
Only then can we truly connect with the material and serve our characters, the story, and the script.
Our classes are an invitation to take up as much space as you need. In an increasingly fragmented and disjointed society, we need your artistry more than ever. The world needs your voice.
That’s why we started Actors Coaching International.
We are a sanctuary for actors to take their space.
We are joined by actors from the US, UK, Austria, Sweden, Finland, France and elsewhere.
