Feedback: “It was an pleasure attending your course last weekend. I found the course very helpful — I was very nervous to get back into acting after a few months break (felt like a lifetime), and you did an excellent job of settling me back into it. I loved how you involved the breathing and visualisation techniques to go hand-in-hand with the acting techniques. The balance you provided with the anecdotal stories and what you were teaching allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of what I was learning. I also really liked how you still provided the one-on-one feedback despite there being a group of us — I’ve found that’s what other courses have lacked, so thank you!” Charlotte Robertson

“Thank you so much for an awesome weekend! I found this PAC course very insightful and found it helped me approach screen acting and characterisation from another perspective which was very refreshing. It was amazing being surrounded by a group of supportive, like minded people and i felt comfortable and encouraged the entire weekend. I loved the way the weekend operated it was very efficient and we were able to cover a lot of theory and also had the chance to put the theory into practise. I would totally recommend the course, I had a fabulous weekend.” Olivia Colvin
