Acclaimed acting coach Miranda Harcourt will discuss how actors can craft a journey through their material, how verbatim text can help us achieve naturalism and how our thoughts translate through the lens. As she did in her last livestream, Miranda will bring case studies and research about the ways psychology and neuroscience supports your performance. Last time she discussed how you can achieve unselfconsciousness, inner life and responsiveness by balancing your vista, connection and internal landscape. This time she will push beyond those core craft skills into new material. Miranda will spend half the time respond directly to your questions about acting and directing on stage and screen. Globally renowned as a performance-pilot, not only does Miranda support stars at the highest level, but also guides emerging talents into stellar careers. Her clients have won and been nominated for multiple Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, BAFTAs and AAFTAs. She has lifted up countless careers through her work at labs and schools like TIFF, NYU Tisch, London Film School, UK’s National Film and Television School and Toi Whakaari.
