The human form, from the actors perspective, aims to combine the physical outer life with the more secret inner life and have both work in unison to deliver what we call - character.  With our internal energy, we as actors and performers, can reach out to audiences in very peculiar ways; ways which ultimately go far beyond what can be seen and heard - more along the lines of what we EXPERIENCE. The human beings' inner life is divided into the “thought,” “feeling” and “will” centers, with these living realms all having a residence within different parts of the human beings body; in the actors case - his/her instrument.  The actor, as an artist, has much to gain from learning about and understanding most other art forms in order to deepen their insight into the creative process.  As myriad of methodologies is similar to, for example, modern sports psychology and athletes finding their respective performance zones, so too the craft of acting aims to target images and uses charged texts (the plays/films/tv we act in) to put into practice the entire realm of theatre arts.  Without needing the analytical realm of our intellect, the actor will consider very specific psycho-physical exercises and begin to awaken in themselves their true creative intuition.   

The training begins with very simple exercises that illustrate methods and examine them by initially "taking in" our instrument in a new and different way;  exploring relationship with ourselves, the ensemble and the space.  Exercise work is typically executed either in pairs and/or in groups so as to permit the ensemble an opportunity to begin the process of working moment to moment through specific atmosphere improvisations while taking the big risks in an extremely safe space.  The group is encouraged to support  and speak out with their peers related to recognizing where the work is inspiring as well as providing constructive feedback all tailored towards the goal of advancing individual growth.
