Working with Emotions: A Practical Approach for Actors, Acting Teachers, Coaches, and Directors

This five-day intensive introduces participants to Emotional Fluency Training for Actors (EFTA) a trauma-informed, somatic, and skill-based approach to emotional work using the Emotional Effector Patterns system. Participants learn how emotions function physiologically and how to enter, exit, and regulate emotional states with precision, control, and agency. EFTA provides a shared language and practical toolkit that supports emotionally demanding work while aligning with contemporary expectations around mental health, consent, and respectful workplace practices.
