A weekly session for the mature actor, focusing on the core pillars of the Grennell Method in a dedicated environment for over 40s.
Designed for actors who want to develop their screen acting craft in a room of their peers.
Rooted in our unique philosophy of Ownership—a discipline of claiming your creative authority, liberating you from judgement so you can occupy the frame with agency.
This course is perfect for those with a background in stage work or training looking to upskill to contemporary screen acting methods, or any actor looking to expand their screen acting horizons so they can experience first hand the transformative experience of the Gerry Grennell Method™
Curriculum
01
Moving from imitation to interpretation. We place the creative authority back where it belongs: with the actor, to help you avoid being 'owned' by the set
02
Learn to just be in the present moment, rather than performing. Self awareness rather than self consciousness
03
Understanding your relationship with the lens and how to expand within the frame. Including the command of the self tape and audition process
04
Gaining insight into how memory works, a visceral approach to text that bypasses the "rote" memory trap and keeps the performance alive
05
Breaking down the script so that the text serves the actor, and not the other way around
06
Developing the objectivity required to observe your work on screen with clarity rather than self criticism
