SOLD OUT
An exclusive two-day deep dive led by Gerry Grennell.
10 actors participating on camera, 40 in active observation.
This is a rare opportunity to work directly with the founder.
Gerry leads a screen-first approach that focuses on present-moment expression, emotional ownership, and the actor’s role as an interpretive artist.
The result is the actor works with the camera, rather than for it.
Curriculum
01
An immersive practice that seeks to liberate the actor from fear of judgement or failure, by exercising agency over their interpretation.
02
A principle that guides actors to reclaim/balance the un-self-conscious perceptions of childhood, counteracting adult overthink and allowing the actor to play and respond instinctively.
03
An approach to learning scripts where the accumulation of emotional, contextual and personal insights precede memorisation, thereby allowing dialogue to flow through spontaneous, real-time thought.

| Testimonials | Working with Gerry’s methods have completely transformed my relationship and approach to acting. It has enabled me to have real control of my performances and has already led to more work. – S Cash I was completely blown away by his methods, he makes the most incredible techniques so easy to grasp for any actor. Not only does it put the actor in touch with her instrument in a way I have never come across before, it also impacts invaluable professional knowledge. His approach has changed the way I approach scripts for life. There is no other drama coach that will teach you to mold your body and mind to realize the truth in the way he does. – S Coffey The masterclass really makes you think from a different perspective about being unique. I suffer greatly from performance anxiety from past experiences and Gerry seems to have relieved me from that anxiety. – A White Being in front of GERRY was entirely different. It felt entirely real, I felt alive and awoken! Gerry’s approach is a very poetic and positive approach to make the best of yourself as an actor. What I learned in his master class was not just to think differently about what I thought about acting, new ways of learning lines, but also to connect differently with myself and the world. – J Pilkington |
No. We use the camera for intensive real-time analysis. The footage is often experimental and unpolished. To maintain the integrity of this private “lab”, we do not release class material for external use or reels.
No, it is in-person and experiential.
Yes, many actors return as the information is dense and evolves with the actor’s own experience.
