What is Active Embodiment?
Watch this short video from creator, John Osborne Hughes
Actors, do you sometimes struggle to effectively analyse and understand the scene you've been asked to present for a self-tape or audition?
Or, even when you get the part, do you experience performance anxiety or a nagging, underlying feeling that you’re ‘faking it’?
Or maybe you’re tired of ‘imposter syndrome’ destroying your confidence?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you’re not alone!
Extensive experience has shown that, even after three years of formal drama training and a host of professional credits, many actors still struggle to know exactly what to do when the much longed for audition or self-tape request comes in.
The first obstacle to great acting is a lack of reliable, practical knowledge.
The simple fact is, many actors don’t know how to do their job properly!
Here’s the solution -
Active Embodiment
The holy grail of great acting…
Active Embodiment is a modern, organic acting technique, which allows actors to analyse and create any character’s general and immediate psychology, and express it through imagination and action.
Created by British director, John Osborne Hughes, Active Embodiment is the culmination of the work begun by Stanislavski and further developed by Michael Chekhov and Sam Kogan.
It enables actors to quickly and efficiently find the best choices to serve the story through the characters they play, and to embody them in a truthful, compelling form.
