Acting With Passion (Niki Flacks Method) led by Francesca De Martini, at The Dome Room of His Majesty's Theatre, London
Open to all levels of experience and ability
Experience Niki Flacks’s transformative acting method that blends neuroscience, mind-body psychology, and visualisation, through our upcoming workshop, "Acting With Passion" led by the esteemed acting coach Francesca De Martini.
Booking is available now for this unique opportunity to enhance your craft under the guidance of an industry veteran!
There is nothing better for an actor than feeling completely “alive” and “in the moment”.
Can you feel this way every time you are on set or on stage? During an audition, take after take, night after night?
Based on the latest research from the fields of neuroscience and mind/body psychology, Acting With Passion offers a revolutionary new approach to the age-old problems of the actor: dealing with nerves, engaging the body, quieting the inner critic, auditioning, creating a character, and even playing comedy.
This workshop helps actors who have struggled with ‘visualisation’ and ‘emotional recall’ and lets them learn an alternative method of accessing feelings through the release of chronic, subtle muscular tensions that connect into the brain at lightning fast speed and can actually produce emotions on cue.
Acting with Passion is different from any other acting workshop you've ever done. After 3 intense lessons you’ll feel all your talents unlocked and you’ll find yourself acting with the joy and easiness that often seems so difficult to find.
The workshop will provide you with a series of physical and vocal cues that will give you the confidence to be, even under pressure, totally alive and ‘in the present moment’!
In three half-days you experience the ground-breaking approach to acting that can produce emotions on cue, quiet the critical voice in your head and produce the physical freedom of a spontaneous, responsive body.
During the workshop, there will be the possibility of being filmed or receiving a recording of your work, upon request.
Still not convinced?
Many actors have tried and tested it in New York, London, Paris, Vienna, Dublin Rome, Milan and Naples and find it 'magical'.
