A complete 10-week introduction to Mindful Acting course in Manchester, suitable for complete beginners or actors looking to learn how mindfulness can support your craft

This Mindful Acting beginners course offers a supportive, judgement-free way to start—or restart—your training. Each session builds on the last, helping you develop essential acting skills while learning to get out of your head, trust your instincts and feel more comfortable being seen. Through a mindful approach to acting, you’ll become more grounded and present, connect more openly with your emotions and learn to listen and respond truthfully to other actors.

What you’ll learn

Weeks 1–2: Overcoming self-consciousness – Move beyond overthinking and become comfortable in front of others.

Weeks 3–4: Accessing your emotions – Develop greater emotional openness, honesty and availability.

Weeks 5–6: Confidence and presence –  Become more grounded, take up space and feel more confident being seen.

Weeks 7–8: Becoming the character – Use imagination, text and character work to step into another person’s shoes.

Weeks 9–10: Integrating and applying – Bring it together as you prepare, perform and professionally film a speech.

If you need to miss a session or two, don’t worry—each topic runs over two weeks, and we’ll send you any resources you need to catch up.

Who’s It For?

The course is designed for complete beginners, people returning to acting after a long break and anyone interested in using acting to develop greater confidence, presence, connection and self-expression.

You’ll finish with a professionally filmed speech for your showreel or acting portfolio, along with a certificate of completion.
