ACTING FOR THE SUPERNATURALLY SHY
ACTING
FOR THE
SUPERNATURALLY
SHY
At the outset of our training, our goal is to teach ‘un-acting’. How can someone stop acting and bring their true, pure, honest self forward? How can someone unmask themselves and get used to living in that experience, rather than a ‘version’ of oneself that is presented to people? An actor’s goal in training is to give a very strong, truthful performance. How can you train to give that, if you train to pretend?
That’s the initial challenge for most actors – taking the mask off, and learning to live purely and authentically as themselves in each moment.
With shyness, we may hold on to that mask as well, or, we may simply avoid situations altogether. We hide not only behind a mask but sometimes we hide altogether. We avoid any situation where we would feel exposed, or vulnerable.
So with shyness, we work on becoming accustomed to that uncomfortable feeling of exposure – which is vulnerability, a real asset in acting and in life!
We step into the experience slowly, step by step.
If you’re interested in Acting for the Supernaturally Shy, we recommend beginning with our Thursday Foundations.
All of the below classes can be used to work on shyness in life or in acting.
SUPERNATURALLY SHY FOUNDATIONS

Acting is an art that asks you to dig in deep to access your truest self expression. But, most of us learn to hide, or even lose touch with, our authentic expression. In this class, we work on exercises that develop the ability to discover and trust one’s innate self-expression. When you can fully express yourself you can play any role.

Overcoming Shyness
Acting is an art of expression. And though we don’t train to focus on feeling (as feeling is a result and not an action) the truth is, the deeper a person can experience feeling, the better the acting. But experiencing feeling is hard. When you feel, people can see...
