25.01.2022 "This much i know; art is not a luxury. Film is history, history is context, context is perspective. Without context we lose our bearings; without perspective we lose our way." - An inspiring and poetic speech from the wonderful Tilda Swinton. #filmforever

24.01.2022 I was too old, too young, too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, too blond, too dark but at some point they’re going to need the other. So I’d get really good at being the other. - Frances McDormand.

23.01.2022 Using props can be a tricky feat. Especially when it comes to eating food and saying your lines. At the same time. Without choking. Watch Danny DeVito breaking down eating an egg on stage every night in Arthur Miller's THE PRICE. "There wouldn't be a little salt, I suppose."

21.01.2022 "Skill is born from habit. We become what we repeatedly do. Having a tangible, solid foundation is the only way forward in this incredible business. It lifts obstacles, tackles fear, clears shame and opens you to a new world where success and integrity reigns." - David Cuthbertson Acting Coach.

20.01.2022 Thank you Emma Thompson. "In our systems there are not nearly enough women, particularly in Hollywood in positions of power. There aren't enough women at the top of the tree in the studios who could perhaps balance everything out. There aren't enough women on set. There just aren't enough women. This is a gender disfunction, and the other thing it is, is a public health issue. This isn't just about one mans crimes against women, this is about our systems imbalances, our systems gender crisis."

20.01.2022 Frances McDormand brought us to tears when she celebrated her Best Actress Oscar spotlight with all of the women who were nominated for the 2018 Academy Awards. Backstage she explains the term "inclusion rider", two words we should all know, honour and share.

12.01.2022 Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone will share his philosophy on telling difficult stories, navigating resistance and how his take on the interplay between writer, storyteller and director has cemented his position among the legends of Hollywood. He is joined in conversation with Margaret Pomeranz AM at City Recital Hall on 28 May.

09.01.2022 "On the stage, what distinguishes skillful from mediocre acting is an actor’s capacity to differentiate one moment, one action, from the next. Difference is the key. Rather than blending together movement into a general soup, a successful actor marks the separateness, the particularity and the difference between the milliseconds of time passing." - SITI Company Anne Bogart

06.01.2022 "Every fear hides a wish" - David Mamet

05.01.2022 "Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens; you say, 'This is what I need.' It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that momentnot discouragementyou will find the strength is there." "A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living."

03.01.2022 "The key is found in respondingnot reacting to external circumstances. Stoics taught although we can’t control what happens to us in life, we can control our perception of it, which makes all the difference." #will #bravery #commonsense

03.01.2022 "The bottom line - whether it's performance, art or sculpture - it's love. We want to show ourselves and have that be accepted. I love being alive and the art is the evidence of that."- Jim Carrey.

03.01.2022 Apart from the intensive professional training, our actors are working with their accountability partners this week. Courageously setting specific, measurable goals for one another and creating a career game plan for the next week, month and year. What are you doing about your career today?

02.01.2022 Today we honour the life of Sam Shepard. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, author, actor, director, and screenwriter. An original voice for storytelling whose work profoundly influenced us all at the assembly. He once quipped that his plays "were chants, incantations, spells. You get on them and you go. Your stories will live on within us Mr Shepard. Fly high.
