Actioning is now one of the most widely used rehearsal techniques for actors
Actioning is an approach that brings clarity to every moment and thought in the text, energising rehearsals and bringing performances to life
Actioning is a proven technique that enables you to discover and unlock energy, range, variety and clarity of body and voice by:
★ Interrogating the text and making initial action verb choices
★ Playing your chosen actions - both verbally and physically
★ Maintaining an imaginative and emotional connection with each moment
★ Signposting each thought to your scene partner

It's a vital component in every actor's toolkit
