Private Coaching
As acting and character movement coaches, Jean-Louis Rodrigue and Kristof Konrad specialize in working with actors (of all levels) when preparing for the audition, callback, rehearsal, and/or first day on set or on stage.
Available in-person or online.
As an actor, your body is your instrument and it must be “in tune.” In order to deliver an unforgettable performance, you must be fully present and embodied. Private coaching sessions may include any and all of the following:
- creating body awareness, balance, and ease via the Alexander Technique; this encompasses work on the role itself and on the actor’s overall development, including eliminating bad habits or unintentional mannerisms, awakening a dynamic connection to your body, improving movement coordination, and enhancing voice production
- using Animal Studies to explore the character’s movement, physicality, and emotional & psychological qualities
- discovering how to stay grounded in embodying the character’s emotional and physical tensions (without carrying personal habits)
- navigating the character’s emotional and physical demands with greater resilience and precision
- examining the character’s archetype, family system, and socio-political, cultural, religious, and educational background
- exploring the piece’s genre, period, rhythms, and themes
- integrating special physical requirements, such as disabilities, military training, or genre-specific elements (i.e. science fiction, special effects, etc.)
