Psychologically informed theatre practice to support your students' development - as artists and as people
ACT for Actor Training is a flexible, evidence-informed framework for actor development—rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Training and aligned with contemporary understandings of psychology, identity, and behaviour.
Our workshops and modules help actors develop tools for emotional agility, psychological depth, and creative resilience—while integrating seamlessly with established practices like Stanislavsky, Laban, and text-based work.
Coming soon:
