Richard Weingartner
Investigation Physicalization Immersion
"My style of working with actors is the interrogative, where the actor is called upon to answer the questions physically within the context of the scene. The goal is to experience an emergence, a creative connection within yourself...."
For over 30 years I have been getting inspired performances out of actors who never thought they could do it. Sometimes it's difficult to reach out and ask for help because we think we should already know how to act. Even if you are a seasoned professional, everyone sometimes just gets stuck. Sometimes it's hard to get out of your own way. I am here to help you to create and deliver your best performance. Let's get it out of your head and into your voice, into your body and spirit. My studio is a place where you can feel free to make mistakes, be yourself, and take risks.
