As an artist of any kind, really, you are taking the world around you and you are creating with it. You are it and it is you, and you’re having a dialogue with it. And in some way, the more I work with artists, I can really see there’s a kind of psychic quality to where they live, how...

Humility is The Artist's Way

It takes huge humility to be the artist. 

To really be the artist, so much of your craft, of your practice and your process will go unseen and will go un-applauded. 

And not only that, so few people will really get experientially the...

Actors, when emerging from numbness or freeze, you may experience a profound sense of hurt and pain. However, as you gradually move beyond this stage, a new level of resilience emerges—the fight. It is during this phase that you begin to regain your agency and determination. Of course, it...

Fight is going to happen. People are going to confront you. I want you to embody a warrior-like quality, not one of constant vigilance or suffering. Instead, this warrior is a loving and composed presence, possessing the agility to fight if necessary, to soar through the skies, to freeze in place...

Remember actors, you are in a time of the crossroads of change.

In the face of this transformation, we must allow room for it to unfold. Change is sweeping through the universe, our planet, politics, society, and even within ourselves, our families, and our communities. Everywhere we look,...

Actors, preparing to receive the characters, the story, and the environment in a film set can greatly impact your ability to express yourself from the present moment. This preparation involves understanding the interconnectedness of various elements, ranging from biology to the cosmos.

In terms of...

Actors, we’re embarking on a journey, sailing aboard the ship of our lives, armed with our trusty map and compass. In the past, our compass guided us, helping us navigate the storms and winds that threatened our sails. Our map assured us of safe havens, urging us to follow its...

Actors, I wish for you to realise that you don’t have to endure suffering to be an artist. The notion that artists must suffer is misguided. The only suffering that arises is from lacking the necessary framework to express yourself in your chosen art form.

But here’s the truth: you...

The natural world is the greatest form of sustenance, followed by music, dance, and storytelling. These elements regulate and organise our nervous system. When clients visit my house, I always ask if they want Ocean, my border collie, in the room. She's always eager to join, and no client has...

Actors, when you're engaged in a relationship with the present moment, especially as an artist, you anchor your sense of self there. It's not possible to anchor your identity solely on a nine-to-five job with a predetermined plan and trajectory for the future. As an artist, your journey involves...

 Being an actor is like being a finely tuned instrument. 

We listen with our eyes, ears, and touch, allowing the words and experiences to come in, and then we create constellations and connect the dots. 

It's a beautiful mystery that we may not fully understand, but...

Actors, the paradigm shift with this work is you matter, the actor matters.

How you feel matters, your mental health matters.

And that’s why I work with you first and foremost, and your relationship with the world around you in a way that’s curious, exciting, pleasurable, playful, and...

Actors, when you’re reading a play for the first time, it’s not really about analysis or intellectually understanding it on any level.

It’s about what is that story telling your body? How is that story resonating in your body?

Because it’s an embodied experience which is...

Actors! Be slow to judge and very quick to learn.

I try to balance in between the requirements of an actor to have good instincts for acting.
But also a very important part of acting is analysis.

Generalisation is the enemy.

Always be specific in everything you do.

This means every line has to be...

Actors, did you know there’s more to accents than just pronunciation?

These are the four areas to consider when approaching any accent.

Cultural context.

Accents are affected by so much more than just where we’re from. Otherwise, we would sound exactly like everyone else from our home...

Many paths leading many different ways

all beautiful,

all offering something rich,

follow your impulse

one step at a time 

Actors, the stories that you inhabit, you embody and the more complex and richer the actor is inside that process, the more of your listener you will wake up. So the more of you that's present, the more the listener will be able to feel their presence.
