The Junction Point: Your Time to Shine!
The final junction point / gateway between not being a working professional actor and being one ultimately comes down to the quality of the self-tapes you submit.
It makes no difference who your agent is or which directors you get in front of if you can't consistently come up with the goods. The modern acting business is all about the self-tape - it is your genuine shot at actually landing the gig.
The two and a half hour seminar will introduce you to the philosophy, principles and psychological techniques of great acting and is guaranteed to inspire and show you how to progress to the next level with your craft.
Why Your Tapes Aren't Booking (And It's Probably Not What You Think)
Casting directors essentially respond to two things - Good acting and the actors own quality of being and presence.
- The Trap: Trying to be ‘right’ or ‘good’ instead of just ‘being’ the character.
- The Block: Self-consciousness of your performance with doubt and attachment to the result.
- The Result: A performance that feels either forced or flat.
Master Your Craft with Active Embodiment Technique
I developed the Active Embodiment to go beyond outdated acting cliches and superficial training. I will give you the tools to quickly analyse and authentically embody both the characters general and immediate a psychology within any scene - allowing you to confidently deliver a compelling and original performance that’s grounded in being and substance, every time.
What will I learn?
The seminar is packed with practical knowledge, and will introduce you to the philosophy, principles and technique of great acting. During the two and a half hours you will learn:
"I always felt plagued by a sense of inadequacy and inconsistency… Since training with John, all of that has completely changed…”"
Why Train In The Spiritual Psychology of acting?
Have you ever experienced any of the following?
- Doubting the quality of your work
- Feeling unprepared when presented with opportunities
- The fear of failure and rejection
- Acting classes that promote suffering and lead to burnout
- Abusive acting teachers that destroy your confidence
- The nagging feeling that you aren’t fulfilling your potential
All too often, students of acting are subjected to teaching methods and methodologies that deflate their confidence and their ability to fulfil their potential. In contrast, The Spiritual Psychology of Acting is designed to nurture the actor's natural abilities and give them the tools they need to succeed.
Our courses have been developed to alleviate the biggest obstacles to great acting, namely: A lack of sound knowledge, and the burden of the actor’s own psychological baggage.
‘Quick fixes’ only lead to frustration, requiring more work further down the line. Acting is a complex art form and to master it properly, it needs to be studied in detail. The Spiritual Psychology of Acting will provide you with a reliable frame of knowledge and the right technique to do your job properly.
If you want to take your acting to the next level and advance confidently in your career, this course is for you.
and express it in a beautiful, artistic form''
