An Online Course Teaching you how to Work with Scripts

From Script Analysis to Character Embodiment using Beck Emotional Access Technique

An actor’s work with the script begins in analysis. However it must end with performance.

But how exactly does one move from the information gained during the breakdown phase to embodiment of the character?

It is certainly not a straightforward process and it involves a number of steps. When we are talking about embodiment we mean that our bodies and our emotional instruments must be engaged. So, one way to think about this is that we are moving from the cerebral realm (our understanding of the character) to the physical and emotional.

The technique developed by the studio’s founder Beck Emotional Access Technique or BEAT for short bridges this gap between the realm of thoughts and understanding, the physical world of behaviour and the internal emotional world which only you experience but of course we, the audience, sense.

BEAT has revolutionising actor training by bridging these realms through a set of intuitive exercises known as the BEAT Scales. Actors trained in this technique find it easy to not only access emotions safely, but to also make fine adjustments which lead to deep and nuanced performances.

Over the course of 5 weeks, we deliver powerful technique for character embodiment to help you leave behind confusion, uncertainty and approximation.

Instead, you will feel empowered through a no nonsense approach that puts you, the feeling body, in the centre.
