THE INTUITIVE ACTOR WORKSHOP:
Energy Work to Unlock the Actor & Flow Through the Character
“The Intuitive Actor” offers a foundational practice to guide you on a lifelong journey of expanding craft and care as an actor.
EXPLANATION
This is not just another actor workshop, but instead an energy work based exploration that allows artists to understand themselves and their craft on a vibrational level. Through a blend of somatic practices, intuitive energy work, & text work, participants will explore:
Releasing Actor Blocks – Moving through personal blocks to help fully access the creative channel
Accessing Character – Understanding yourself in relation to character on the energetic level to help reach flow state
Clearing Character & Returning to Self – Safely and effectively removing the stored energetic imprints of a character from your own human being
INTENTION
This work is here to support actors on and off stage/camera. To liberate and guide the artist—heightening awareness and strengthening connection to the creative channel while effectively & safely navigating character through an energetic lens.
This experience is a new type of actor immersion into and out of character work that emphasizes the importance of taking care of ourselves as the artist & creative vessel.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The workshop is a TWO DAY immersion to allow for a complete journey into the inner world as an actor and the exploration of a character both into and out of the role.
We will move through grounding, intuitive flow, somatic and energy-based practices along with text-work and character sharing to investigate these new tools. This depth of time allows us to create impact, imprints, and intention with this work so each actor will walk away with new awareness and perspective to shift their practice.
WHY THIS WORKSHOP MATTERS
The actor is the vessel for the character.
But so often, actors are not taking the time to fully understand their own character: the depths of their soul & energy that can either block or access the full release of a character they’re embodying.
By exploring all of your Self as the artist–your fears & limiting beliefs–you begin to clear/open the creative channel, allowing for more truthful releases into the ultimate desired FLOW STATE of a character.
Investigating and moving through our own Shadow does not lose our connection to these truths, but instead heightens them. We can draw upon what our soul remembers and innately knows without these beliefs and stories controlling us. Instead of blocking ourselves from deep exploration and release into uncomfortable spaces because of what it may trigger, we are unafraid to traverse into these dark waters of imagination.
The more we uncover and unveil, the more we are free to roam into the depths of any character with full control as the actor, even if the character is completely out of control.
WHAT THIS WORKSHOP IS NOT:
A group therapy session
An exploitation of your deepest pain
A quick fix to your problems–both on and off stage
A tortured artist no more.
It is often reinforced that actors must excavate and remain attached to their own trauma to inform their work. This workshop offers an alternative path. A path of creative liberation through our own soul liberation/healing. One that safely acknowledges and releases the blocks. Because as an actor, your body and soul is the instrument–not the story.

Testimonials
FACILITATOR BIO
Rachel is a psychic intuitive healer, actor, and storyteller. She received her Theatre degree from the University of Southern California and continued her studies under Juilliard trained teachers for both stage and film. Her training has kept an emphasis on Stanislavski, but spans in practice from classical Shakespeare training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art to Character Improv at The Groundlings.
The Intuitive Actor Workshop was inspired by Rachel’s desire to connect our emotional inner world with our activating physical world—particularly from her exploration of Stanislavski’s improv & personalization, Clown work, and Laban Efforts. The connective thread she found to blend these worlds was her INTUITIVE ENERGY WORK. Rachel is excited to share this expansive and holistic practice, weaving the emotional and the physical, the personal and the play, through the power of vibration.
