Actors Retreat
Far From the Outside World
I am Taking the Actors to "Another World" of Reality
May 19-23, 2016
Wilderness Ranch
White Mountains, Arizona
The Actors Retreat started over 20 years ago, when I realized I need to bring the Actors' level up with more reality in their work. Traveling to a remote location, I was able, through various scenarios, to bring "life" to their work that the actors had not experienced before.
As a person and actor, you will be challenged to bring out the "More you are" and grow into the actor that you can and will be. Over four days and nights, you will work on many areas of your emotional levels and many different sides of your personality.
The Key to Acting is "Not Acting"
Truth in the person will bring truth in the actor. You will go far and beyond your limits.
From Navy SEALs to FBI Agents, there is no "faking it" or "pretending." It will be real to you. You will also be brought back in time, so you can remember all the pure moments you have had in your lives and will have again.
Learn to trust yourself and your partners. Learn how to truly believe in yourself and gain confidence that will stay with you forever.
Communication and listening are extremely important for an actor and you will achieve that in everything we do.
There are no lectures or conventional scenes. In fact there is nothing that I do that is conventional. The added things you will be doing are for me to know and you to experience.
