PERFORMANCE COACH

Performance coaching is a role specific, moment-to-moment support system for actors during on-location rehearsal, shoot and performance execution. if the Actors’ Workshop is where the actor builds the instrument, Performance Coaching where that instrument is protected, calibrated and guided in real time. This service places an experienced acting and movement coach alongside the actor- quietly observing, tracking and supporting the performance as it unfolds. The coach functions like a sports coach on the sidelines: * Watching for drift, over-effort or emotional fatigue * Offering clear, actionable direction between takes * Helping the actor return to the character’s core quickly and safely * Maintaining performance continuity across scenes, days and schedules. WHAT PERFORMANCE COACHING SUPPORTS: Performance coaching helps actors: * Stay emotionally available without burnout * Adjust performance without losing truth * Handle high-pressure scenes with clarity and control * Transition between intense scenes and neutral states efficiently * Respond to direction while preserving character integrity This is especially valuable for: * Emotionally Davy or psychologically complex roles * Non-linear shoots requiring strong internal continuity * Long schedules where consistency matters * Actors intentionally breaking their familiar image WHY PERFORMANCE COACHING + ACTORS’ WORKSHOP WORK BEST TOGETHER: The Actors’ Workshop establishes the foundation: * character embodiment * Emotional access points * Physical and psychological vocabulary * Shared language with the coach Performance Coaching then ensures that this work: * Transfers cleanly to set * Holds under production pressure * Evolves with the director’s needs * Remains sustainable for the actor Because both services come from the same methodology, there is: * No re-explaining on set * No conflicting notes * No loss of momentum The coach already knows the actor’s process, triggers and anchors- allowing for fast, precise interventions.
