A TASTE OF IMPULSE


3-DAY intensive
GOLD COAST

Scott Williams’ approach to acting totally changed my concept of what it is to act. I was for the first time able to let go of a number of ‘techniques’ I believed I needed and was able to simply deal with the given moment and respond to it truthfully.
— Sam Smith (Jirga, The Invisible Man, The Nightingale)

This 3-Day Taster Workshop is designed for actors who want an insight into what it means to “live truthfully under a given set of circumstances” within their work. You will explore a specific set of exercises developed by Sanford Meisner and distilled by Scott Williams, all designed to connect you to your emotional truth and ‘live in the moment’.

The workshop will be taught by internationally renowned teacher, director, and Artistic Director Scott Williams, who studied with Sanford Meisner at the Neighbourhood Playhouse and has over 40 years of experience teaching this work globally. 

If you’re looking for a deeply joyful and authentic process that allows you to become fully present in your body and responsive to your partner, this is the workshop for you.

Discover truth, excitement, and power in your acting. 

Discover what it means to ACT ON IMPULSE.

Scott encourages actors to deal with what really goes on when they engage with another in their work. Under his astute eye and caring guidance, the walls come down and the results can be messy, visceral and raw, but thrilling and alive.
— Julian Garner (Operation Buffalo, Home & Away, Janet King)
