Acting Foundations is a 4-week introduction to the Lucid Body process (Levels 1 & 2): a dynamic psychophysical acting technique designed to help actors expand their emotional and physical range, deepen embodiment, and access more truthful, layered performance.
Originally created by Fay Simpson (Head of Movement at NYU Tisch School of the Arts), the Lucid Body integrates Jungian psychology, archetypes, chakra energy centres, voice, movement, modern dance, yoga, and neuroscience into a practical framework for character diagnosis and embodiment. The work has been used by Academy Award-winner Lupita Nyong’o and is taught at leading institutions including NYU, Juilliard, and Yale School of Drama.
Rob Maxwell is the only certified Lucid Body practitioner in Australia, and has taught at institutions including NIDA, 16th Street Actors Studio, Yale School of Drama, and Carnegie Mellon University.
Across eight classes, we’ll explore:
• the body’s emotional and energetic centres
• Persona and Shadow
• archetypes and character layering
• impulse and embodiment
• voice and movement integration
• psychophysical approaches to text and performance
This work is designed for actors who are curious about the relationship between body, emotion, impulse, and character. You will leave the workshop with practical tools for creating more complex, responsive, and embodied performances.
Acting Foundations: Complete Lucid Body Basics (Levels 1 & 2)
Dates: Monday & Wednesday evenings: October 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, 26, 28
Time: 6-9pm
Location:
Melbourne Actors Guild
137A Acland St, St Kilda
Early Bird Offer (ends August 27): $545
Would love to see you in the room!
