It can also connect you to the deepest part of yourself to that place of stillness where you can experience freedom, joy and peace. This session simply creates the opportunity and a safe space to find your own voice and the true resonance, a tone you can connect to, to let go of self limitations and free yourself.

Then we think, “How on earth do actors have the power to move us to tears within a span of 90 minutes?” Truth be told, Acting isn’t just about lights, camera & action! The passion we see characters portray through their story in TV and Film isn’t something we start to believe as an illusion but a reminder that we can live our lives equally passionate too. When was the last time you were fully present in your day, conscious of your experiences and went all out with a smile on your face? In this workshop, come, explore and rediscover each moment of your life with clarity through the power of intention through language, movement and have fun with script dialogues!	25	-
