 Summer Intensive
Every year Kate Twa, Iris MacGregor-Bannerman and the Cucumber Satellite acting ensemble hold a powerful and unique Summer Intensive. It is a rigorous course, and always leads to the magic of working from a place of truth. Simple but not easy.
These instructors are an unparalleled match combining original exercises with classical training challenging actors to explore playful, bold and daring choices while breaking their own barriers of personal resistance. Focusing on the individual yet supported by a formidable ensemble, these two weeks are extremely demanding, emotional and exhilarating.
It is important to note that although age and experience are not a factor in accepting actors, this class explores extremely mature content. Actors are required to conduct themselves with absolute professionalism and commitment with support and celebration of others.
