RAW TRUTH IN PERFORMANCE
WITH DIRECTOR KIM FARRANT
Open to professional actors or those with formal training.
Raw truth is the heartbeat of an unforgettable performance. It's what pierces an audience and expands their sense of what's possible.
This masterclass with acclaimed director and acting coach Kim Farrant is an immersive exploration of emotional authenticity, designed to help actors dissolve the barriers between themselves and their deepest creative potential. Through structured exercises, scene work and practical emotional tools, you'll uncover where you hold back — and learn how to move through those blocks safely.
This is emotionally intense work. And it delivers extraordinary results.
"Truth in performance is what makes a performance stab you in the heart, blindside you or expand your mind beyond its limitations. Raw truth is an actor's greatest pursuit." — Kim Farrant
These masterclasses are one-of-a-kind — there is nothing like them available in Australia. Places are strictly limited, and this course sells out fast.
You Will Learn How To
Scene work and detailed script analysis — building performances from the ground up, grounded in a deep understanding of the text.
Visceral relationships to Objects, People, Places, Issues, Events and Time Frames — learning how to give these elements greater meaning so every choice you make is rooted in truth.
Subtext vs. Inner Monologue — how to find the subtext in a scene and clearly differentiate it from a character's inner monologue.
Tools to move through emotional blocks — unique, effective techniques for releasing historical emotional blocks that limit access to your full emotional and physical instrument, so you can find greater depth, breadth, and the masculine and feminine qualities within your characters.
Embodying character from truth and safety — learning how to fully inhabit a role from a grounded, safe place, rather than performing from the outside in.
This is a rare opportunity to deepen your craft under Kim Farrant’s guidance and rediscover the courage it takes to bring your raw, unfiltered humanity to every role.
This is emotionally intense work that yields incredible results.
