Hi Actor!
I LOVE the process of acting.
I remember watching performances in my twenties wondering … what defines a thrilling and a non-thrilling performance?
I wanted to watch an actor that wasn’t “acting,” someone who was fully present, open and connected to their bodies.
What I saw instead was so much pushing, over exertion, physical stiffness in the body and self-consciousness when delivering a line.
And of course, I felt it too, that clunky, uncomfortable feeling in the creative process.
I was determined to figure out the secret of how to develop a character that felt human instead of acted. My decision to find this elusive secret (as I thought of it), led me to train and study the craft of acting in England, Paris and back to the U.S.
My favorite part of acting is the rehearsal process where the creation and development of the character unfolds. I realized that magic and impulse (those words used so often when talking about acting), happen within an individual actor's defined process.
In other words: knowing how to do your work as an actor = magic.
I have taught process and technique to hundreds of actors. I have been on the faculty of the USC School of Drama, Santa Barbara City College and the University of Washington as well as led weekend retreats and master classes. In addition to teaching acting, I have taught business of acting seminars throughout schools in the US and abroad.
Teaching actors how to access technique and process so that they feel freedom as they act is my greatest joy. Come and work with me!
See you soon, Camille
