THE WORKSHOP

With his unique approach to script analysis, Seamus McNally, New York/Berlin-based acting coach and director, helps actors explore stillness, presence and a highly evolved, effective technique for inhabiting beats and actions.
Ultimately, actors participating in this workshop leave with a solidified and elevated connection to their craft, and a refreshed confidence in their ability to deliver exceptional work on set.

Active Participants explore this effective technique by taking on a carefully selected role, from first read to a fully realised scene on camera. Observers are not just passive onlookers, but are actively engaged in the text analysis, practical exercises and feedback sessions.
