De-role

10am to 12 noon GMT online, up to 2 hours.

INTIMACY: Biology. 
Acting requires one to be vulnerable. Even the most experienced actors can suffer the effects of playing emotionally exhausting scenes night after night. De-roling is about taking time to remove the character from the self after rehearsals, a show, or the run. 
We use a process of connecting to the neutral body, shifting the mode of embodiment of Character, Physical Creative or Stage Management back to the Individual.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Performers, Physical Creatives, Stage Managers and Theatre Makers.

WHAT IS IT?
An interactive online session.
Introductory chat & discussion.
What is de-roling & why it's useful.
Practical options & solutions.
Final part of the session is dedicated to yoga (a tried and tested yoga based method to de-role).
Delivered by Rachel Bown-Williams, a Kundalini Global Yoga Teacher, specialising in breath work and mastering addictive & anxious behaviours.  

WHAT DO YOU NEED?
A quiet space (make your space feel as calm as possible).
A yoga mat or a blanket to lay on.
Maybe a blanket to keep yourself warm.
Something to take on on.

OUTCOME?
Find your own de-role method. Take away the knowledge of how to regulate your autonomic nervous system with Kundalini yoga and breath work. 

FEEDBACK
"... I was the most zen I'd been in years for several days after the workshop and have found the breathing techniques invaluable since then, in all sorts of different contexts - both personal and professional. I've also implemented a check-in and check-out, alongside breathing and movement at the beginning and end of all of my acting classes and it's had pretty much a 100% improvement on the students' wellbeing when they compare their moods before and after class - incredible! …" (2022 participant)
