Jackie's approach to training actors is a fusion of the work of the following practitioners: Sigurd Leeder, Kurt Joss, Rudolph Laban, Trish Arnold, Litz Pisk, F M Alexander, Moche Feldenkrais, Jerzi Growtowski, Jacques Le Coq and Belinda Quirey.


  • PURE MOVEMENT:
    To release the body of unwanted tension which allows for physical transformation and frees breath for the voice.
  • DYNAMIC MOVEMENT AND ACROBATICS:
    To stretch and stengthen the body. To encourage balance control, trust and confidence.
  • GAMES AND IMPROVISATION:
    To develop a sense of play and work as an ensemble.
  • ANIMAL STUDY:
    To develop the skills of observation and transformation.
  • MASK WORK:
    To develop physical characterisation.
  • HISTORICAL MOVEMENT AND DANCE:
    To develop the appropriate movements for a given time period.
