Cindy’s Approach
I provide a holistic approach for actors and non-actors that includes both art and life.
A quote from Anton Chekhov sums up my philosophy:
“If you want to work on your art, work on your life”
I address the root of the creative blocks that are not only seen on stage and in film, but also in the life of the actor and non-actor.
I understand the actor/artist as a unique human being and therefore strive to help the acting student see and bring out their own individual process. I create a space for the actor and non-actor that is inspiring and supportive, dedicated to empowering the actor and non-actor with the necessary tools to work in the world of film and on the ‘stage of life’.
I do this using a personal and holistic approach where the physical, emotional, psychological and energetic make-up of the actor or non-actor integrate – where the individual ego of the acting teacher and student fall away to reveal something much greater, much deeper, more timeless and more truthful.
My aim is to see human beings in their uniqueness as artists, give actors and non-actors permission to express their free or wounded souls, help actors and non-actors unlock the doors to their creative truth, and find the sacred places where the magic lies undisturbed.
This is a sacred ritual I wrote that we say after class in our closing circle:
May we be inspired to find a deeper meaning for our lives, a higher purpose for our work, and an enduring compassion for the human condition.
May we service the work over our individual egos, and may we be set free to embrace our hearts true passion.
May we have the courage to surrender to universal truth, to feel the pain and suffering of all of humanity, and to truly open our hearts to Love.
May we go deep… being reborn as the true mystics and shamans that we are… with the ability to heal… and the power to transform.
