MUA!

​

As an Actress, Acting Coach, and Award-Winning Film Producer, I have a great passion for helping actors achieve their dreams. My acting courses and 1-2-1 coaching sessions are designed to help professional working actors at any stage in their careers achieve higher levels of mastery, as well as career guidance and support.

Born in Valencia, Spain, and raised between Las Palmas and London, I am Spanish-British. I have worked in theatre, cinema, and TV in Spain and England. My multicultural background has taught me the importance of being an individual: never imitate, copy, or compare yourself with other talents. There is absolutely no competition in this industry because no one can compete with your uniqueness. You are your greatest asset.

We hold a false belief that one must be "lucky" to make it as an Actor. I am currently coaching some of the finest and brightest up-and-coming UK Film and TV talent. Their success has nothing to do with luck. It is all about correct guidance and craft mastery. As someone who has been in this industry for 25 years, I am honoured to help others advance.

My students go deep into each character and monologue using Method Acting techniques. They emerge utterly transformed, with versatility, concentration, and characterisation capabilities that are truly powerful. Their confidence skyrockets—so does their ability to get exactly the acting work they want.

Over the last 20 years as an Actor's Coach, I have learnt that most actors approach their career path the wrong way—following the masses and getting what everyone else gets: "Very little."

In this profession, it is imperative to know your "why." You need to learn about your mission, unveil your purpose, and go after your innermost desires with a laser-focused attitude that gives you the confidence to become unstoppable.

​

I deeply believe you can achieve whatever you want.

“Acting and living, and everything else, for that matter, is compassion.

What Lee and Stella Adler and Mira Rostova and Herbert Berghof were all espousing was compassion, an amplification of humanity, which is all that will save a scene or a play or a relationship or the world.

Movies and plays and art and music and interaction with other people who sought compassion and understanding saved me. They will save us all. What is at the heart of The Method is compassion and empathy.

Go into your private moments and private spaces and realise all that you’ve felt and all that has been given to you and taken away. We will never murder; we might never give birth; we were not Napoleon. But within us are similar emotions, drives, feelings that can place us within an adjoining heart of a murderer; of Napoleon. Of anyone. What the teachers were telling us, what Lee was telling his students, was to empathise with your own history and to merge with the histories of others.

Art means nothing if it does not connect with an audience, even it might be an audience of one. Honesty with our emotions will find a connection with the honesty of someone else with their own emotions. Otherwise, it is performing, which is not to be confused with acting.​

 

Call it Method, call it acting, call it art, it is the painful, glorious compassion that joins us all, shared in one space at one time.”

 

Marlon Brandon

 

 

Method Acting

 

 

​

There is much controversy around Stanislavsky's words—what he said, what he meant, and how to interpret it. This continues to be a heated discussion amongst practitioners worldwide.

​

Students must discern what helps them achieve their desired goals. Creating a "real" world from one's imagination based on life experiences that aid in constructing a fictional life is an art. Method Actors create organically from natural processes—resources taken from day-to-day life experience, using imagination to create truthful characters and compelling performances.

​

Our job is to help students develop all elements of the psychophysical approach. We focus on the physical embodiment of a role through expression, speech, voice, body, and movement, applying the process to rehearsal and performance.

Acting Career Coach and Method Acting Tutor (MAT) seeks to help students discover technical means to solve problems and be inspirational, aiding in the creation of something new and fresh.

​

We are committed to providing high-quality advanced Acting Training and support for Acting Students and Professional Actors that is highly accessible and with lifelong access—helping them develop their skills and deepen their knowledge of the craft. The Acting Career Coach Programme shows students how to develop a strong, focused, positive mental attitude towards their acting careers.

Our session booking is flexible. We are open to a worldwide community of Acting Students and Professional Actors. We offer a range of programs, online sessions, and courses to suit each individual's needs and availability.

The Earth Awakening Network

 

 

A community platform of Film Industry Professionals, Actors, Actresses, Tutors, Collaborators, Philosophers, Writers, Theatre Practitioners, Film Directors, Funders, Stewards, Designers, and Creators who—after years of dedication to the arts—have come together to share their knowledge, ideas, views, and opinions while developing their skills.

​

The MAT community aims to be a place of learning and networking, but many would argue that MAT is primarily a place to indulge in the Dramatic Art of The Method—the active analysis of the method of physical action.

​

Over time, we have discovered that we share a thrilling passion for all aspects of Method Acting. Not only because it dramatically improves performance. Not only because it is an art that delights the senses. It is an art that connects the inner being with the outer world—the audience. It brings vivid discussion, but it also brings light where there was darkness. It brings the freshness of every new beginning. But also for the sake of it—for the sheer love of it. The passion we share in talking, studying, discussing, and practising the art.

MAT, Method Acting Tutor, was founded in 2008 as "School of Theatre Barcelona" in Barcelona, Spain, by Sylvie Amour. It soon opened a second branch in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. School of Theatre enjoyed great acceptance and popularity, teaching hundreds of students. Reaching large audiences with compelling performances, it achieved the satisfaction of students and partners alike.

School of Theatre attracted hundreds of professionals, students, and theatre amateurs who saw their dreams fulfilled in Theatre and acting for the camera. Students gained confidence and developed vital social and communication skills while discovering their talent and "Meeting the Genius Within."

School of Theatre was approached by numerous theatre companies, film and video production companies, television channels, and Hollywood casting directors who invited our students to audition for various roles.

​

Method Acting Tutor, formerly School of Theatre Las Palmas, started operating in Great Britain in 2012, with MAT tutors teaching private 1-2-1 lessons and running audition coaching sessions, also participating as casting directors for several productions.

Inner Vision Pictures works closely with Awakening Arts Academy with the sole purpose of discovering new talent to employ in our future film projects.
