Movement Coach Sarah Perry

by Acting Techniques

Sarah Perry is going to be joining the roster of acclaimed coaches at The Atelier and I couldn’t be more thrilled.  Sarah Perry is an actor and movement specialist from the U.K.  who helps actors explore the creative potential that the body has to offer through practice and observation.  Studying how the body moves under different circumstances helps to raise the awareness of the body which can then can be applied to character development, voice and finally, text.  Sarah’s methods are inspired by leading acting and movement practitioners including Stanislavski, Laban, Bartenieff and many others.

I’m very excited to be able to bring Sarah to Munich.  Right now, we’re looking at the fall.  I’ll keep you posted.

The Intent to Live

I’m not sure when I first heard the name Larry Moss but, in what ever context I first learned about him, it must have been intriguing enough for me to slip over to Kindle and download his book.  Ah, I love instant gratification.  Course it has its trade-offs with having an actual spine to crack and pages to flip, dog ear and wear thin, but I digress.  It wasn’t far into the first chapter when I realized I had stumbled on a little pot of gold, so I immediately had to google him to find out more.  Suffice to say that this man is a genius and has made a major impact on Hollywood films in the last decade.  While googling him I ran across this fantastic video.  Its an hour long but you won’t notice.

He makes a couple of references to “must see” films – all classics and some are really hard to track down.  I was able to watch The Goddess (in pieces on youtube) and in spite of the mini screen, and the constant interruptions of having to find and play the next video, I was blown away by  Kim Stanely’s performance.  I’m kind of ashamed to admit, I’d never even heard of her until I read Larry’s book.  I’d love to know what you think about this video and if it inspires anyone to buy his book.
