ACTING WITH JOY
a holistic approach to sensual embodiment & creative freedom
​
​
For actors who are ready to get out of their head, drop into their body,
tap into emotional and creative freedom.
Acting With Joy is a holistic and heart-centered, advanced approach to the craft of acting. It invites the artist to connect sensually and intuitively with your body, awaken your imagination, and explore bold, dynamic choices in a supportive environment. This method empowers artists to eliminate blocks and create with their full sensual selves. Learn to fully embody rich, complex characters while honoring your personal boundaries and nurturing your unique creative voice.
Have you ever seen a performance that was technically good, yet for some reason you didn't care about the character? That performer was not fully in their body and connected to their sensuality.​​​
