The Full Body Actor Warm Up with Wendy Allnutt
SUNDAY

An Online Class
If you’re an actor, a mover, or performer looking to harness your most powerful performance without leaving the stage/screen/set totally obliterated then you already know that a proper warm up is everything.
Performance is a physical activity, our bodies are our instrument. A well-tuned instrument in key to executing your best performance. You wouldn’t run a marathon without warming up (unless you wanted to be bedridden the next day) and you wouldn’t play a concerto without tuning your violin. We all know this, so then why do actors so often slack on OUR warm up routine?
Wendy Allnutt will give you a routine you’ll want to stick to.
By the end of this class,
you will have…
-
