TESTIMONIALS

  • "Craft Collective was recommended to me by a friend and I went into this course having no prior acting experience or formal training. What could’ve been a very intimidating experience quickly revealed itself to be totally welcoming, encouraging, and joyful. It’s no doubt a result of Sam and Joe’s professionalism and care. As for the coursework, alternating between stage and screen practice is a highlight of Craft Collective for me. This duality makes each week exciting, and allows you to learn and sharpen different skill sets. I obviously went into Craft with a lot to learn, especially amongst a troop of experienced actors, but Sam and Joe always take the time to give helpful and personalized feedback while preserving an environment that encourages bravery and vulnerability. And beyond all of that, Craft Collective is simply fun. Looking forward to another session!"

  • "Sam and Joe have created an engaging and supportive atmosphere where I have been able to play and improve my skills as an actor. Sam’s stage focused sessions coupled with Joe’s screen studies have equipped me with a myriad of new techniques, helping me to feel more grounded and connected in scene work. I have loved this first term and am looking forward to learning more under their expertise."

  • "As a film director who has mainly worked in docs for the past few years I really wanted to make a transition to fiction and felt it was only respectful to put myself in the shoes of actors. It is quite nerving to come new into a space and try out this raw and exposing practice and I felt so welcomed and safe. Jo and Sam have been incredibly gentle and patient with me and it's been so enjoyable to work with other more experienced actors and learn from them. I will be joining the second term of classes as result."

  • "Beyond creating such a positive and welcoming space, both Sam and Joe demonstrated deep care and attention to each individual's work. The choice of scenes provided were always thoughtful of what could help stretch that particular actor, and I really appreciated their feedback. For me, they were able to very quickly identify an unhelpful performance habit and gave me language to better understand this block. It has helped to reframe my approach to the work and find more potential within myself as an artist. I would absolutely recommend Craft Collective."

  • "Craft collective truly appreciate the craft! I've already felt growth within this short period. I'm grateful that after my training, they followed similar methodologies and practices taught at conservatoires, and you able to articulate to newcomers or those familiar with that knowledge. Joe and Sam manage to personalise details to each individual within the room and outside of class, despite class size. i felt such freedom and openness to play with Craft. Not every facilitator is able to create such a realm of bravery and exploration as they do."
