When you're in the moment, you're authentic.
When you're authentic on screen or on stage, we can’t take our eyes off you.
Discover the tools to develop an authentic connection
and stay in the moment with your scene partners.

As professionals, we don't rely on magic; we create it so the audience believes.

Through a series of practical step-by-step exercises, the Momentum Direct-able Authenticity technique enables you to initiate and ground your connection with your scene partners, whether on set or on stage. This structured approach eliminates the ambiguity often associated with acting and equips you with practical professional skills.

With a more fluid and authentic emotional and behavioral availability, you bring spontaneity to your dialogue and interpretation, thereby enhancing the tangible humanity of your charisma.

Each actor will benefit from daily practice, with personalised guidance from both coaches, Robbie and Liza, to nurture your progress and facilitate the developing growth of your abilities.

The adaptability of these tools will not only enhance your impact in navigating the challenges of a highly competitive industry but also empower you with this newly-revealed potential without leaving it to chance.

Educational Objective:
Acquire practical tools to create an authentic and palpable connection on screen as well as on stage, regardless of your scene partner.

Technique:
Unprecedented in France, the Momentum Acting Studio's Direct-able Authenticity Technique is based on:

The Meisner Technique for its practicality
- in anchoring the actor in the moment
- with its ability to channel the actor's authentic humanity with specificity, flexibility, and consistency
- without resorting to often traumatic impact of “Emotional Recall”.
The Alive Technique for its ability to unleash the actor's imaginative and emotional availability.
Certain elements of Lee Strasberg's Method for its physical relaxation and physical activation (energetic).
"Practical Aesthetics" by deepening its performative text analysis specifically for actors.

Combining and building upon their benefits enable the Direct-able Authenticity Technique to adapt precisely and deepen each participant’s process specifically.

At the end of the training, a collective assessment synthesises the learnings. Following on, a Q&A session allows participants to project their new skills into the immediate future of their careers and they will obtain specific guidance to achieve their respective personal goals. Upon request, each trainee receives a training completion certificate as well as an individual assessment.
