Oct 29: Divergent Workshops: Standing in Your Power with Antoinette Jackman

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.

Standing in Your Power

Designed for actors of all backgrounds and experiences, this workshop offers practical tools to grow confidence, sharpen preparation, and strengthen your vocal presence. You’ll explore how to “book the room” as well as the role - making authentic, lasting impressions that go beyond the audition. With clear guidance and purposeful practice, you’ll learn strategies to connect meaningfully with casting directors and industry professionals in ways that feel confident, grounded, and genuinely you.
