THE ART OF DOING
"The Art of Doing" is a unique acting workshop that uses varied Meisner technique exercises, designed to stop the flow of internal dialogue. The technique intends to bring participants into a state of honest presence and fluidity, using different exercises, in which the individual participant has access to a level of self truth and spontaneity unattainable by thought alone. This state is beyond thought, and therefore, is achieved only when the individual is fully "doing" in the present moment. For that we have decided to call this workshop "The Art of Doing."
Developed and instructed by Jimmy Collins.
Now is your chance to try something outside of your comfort zone in a safe and welcoming space. 18+ is suggested age.
Don't think, act now.
