DR. SUZIE J. JARMAIN | Empowering Transformation for Actors

Empowering Transformation for Actors and Non-Actors

My Pledge

To recognise, promote and nurture acts of transformation.
To prioritise creativity, innovation, technical, and high-quality professional practices.
To seek the intimate truths under theatrical circumstances.
To honour the imaginary over the real.
To serve storytelling as a premise for all other acts of creation.
To privilege authenticity over censorship and ‘fitting in’.
To be accountable for consistently refreshing knowledge, skills, and performance practices.
To empower professional relationships built on wholehearted kindness, discipline, and mutual success.

”If you desire to achieve everything that you want in life there must be discipline and order. And you must begin with your own self-discipline.
(Stanislavsky 1968, p.388)

I completed Dr. Suzie J. Jarmain’s The Laboratory and it was probably the most memorable and practically useful experiences I’ve ever had as an actor, having done lots of training with different organisations and teachers in both London and Melbourne.

The Laboratory is a super exciting learning environment for actors to play and experiment with Suzie’s invaluable knowledge and energy that is so freely shared.
