Truth To The Text for beginners with Jerome Meyer - Expressions of Interest

UTILISE AUTHENTICITY AND PERSONAL TRUTH TO ELEVATE PERFORMANCE

Timothée Chalamet, Margot Robbie, Zendaya — what do these world class performers have in common? A pure and playful dedication to authenticity on screen. Whether they are baring their soul in a gritty drug fuelled rant, putting on high-heels in a plastic dream house, or giving a rousing speech to an army of sand warriors, these actors somehow unapologetically infuse each of their characters with their own personal truth – their 'Authentic Selves'. ‘Truth to Text’ presents a tool based approach that helps actors reliably access this level of authenticity in performance.

The universe cannot resist authenticity – let's learn to bring our truth to text.
