Oct 15: Divergent Workshops: Movement for Confidence with Emily Booth

Our Workshops

Workshops designed with neurodivergent actors at the centre - safe, clear, and accessible for all. Creative spaces that are stim-friendly, flexible, and led by lived experience. Accessibility isn’t an add-on - it’s how we build our workshops from the ground up. Clear, calm, inclusive spaces where every actor can thrive.

Movement for Actors

Led by Emily Holt. A practical, playful workshop for actors of all backgrounds and experiences. No prior movement training needed - just bring yourself.

In this session, you’ll:

• Re-connect with your body and strengthen self-trust

• Boost confidence in your physical presence and creative choices

• Learn simple exercises that support long-term physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing

• Explore playful movement that unlocks ease, presence, and embodiment

You’ll leave with tools you can use in rehearsal rooms, on set, or in self-tapes - and the confidence to step into any space ready.

Wear comfy clothes, bring water, and feel free to wear socks if you prefer them to bare feet.

AuDHD/Dyslexic) began her career as a dancer, training at London Studio Centre and performing in productions including Cabaret (Lyric Theatre, West End) and The Far Pavilions (Shaftesbury Theatre). She later trained as an actor at LAMDA and appeared in productions such as Dirty Dancing (UK Tour), Wendy and Peter Pan (RSC), and The Pillars of the Earth (Channel 4).

Now working as a movement director, choreographer, tutor, and workshop facilitator, Emily draws on her combined experience in dance and acting to create work that is physically dynamic and emotionally grounded.

Emily’s training as a life coach and in holistic practices is woven throughout her work, allowing her to support both the craft and the well-being of the artists she works with. Her practice is about creating spaces where actors feel safe, confident, and connected to their instincts, enabling them to dive into the world of a character, safely, bravely, and with joy.
