Raw Truth in Performance

Raw Truth is an advanced masterclass for professional actors and directors taught by Australian film director and acting coach Kim Farrant.

Truthful acting is what makes a performance stab you in the heart, blindside you or expand your mind beyond its limitations. Raw truth is an actor’s and director’s greatest pursuit.

For actors, the masterclass reveals where you are emotionally blocked and gives you the tools to access deeper parts of yourself in service of character.

  • Detailed Script Analysis

  • How to give greater meaning and visceral relationships to Objects; People, Places, Issues, Events and Time Frames

    “Kim's 'Raw Truth' workshop is a journey and a return to the essence of oneself, it was a gentle yet powerful discovery of my own raw truth, one I cannot wait to imbue in all of my future roles.

    I learnt such incredibly useful and powerful tools that drastically transformed my acting. I felt dropped in, in ways I didn't know I had access to, yet with Kim's careful, focused and personal guidance, I've left the workshop with a completely new lease on the work as well as life itself.

    To be in Kim's workshop is an honour and an opportunity not to be missed.”

    “Kim’s Workshops sind unvergleichbar. Ihr Umgang mit emotionaler Arbeit ist so tiefgründig und intuitiv, ich hab mich gleichermaßen offen/verletzlich und unfassbar sicher gefühlt.

    Kim leitet einen durch verschiedenste Methoden und passt das Programm zeitgleich an jede/n Teilnehmer/in individuell an. Am Ende des Workshops habe ich mich fast wie neugeboren gefühlt. Man verlässt den Kurs nicht nur mit hilfreichen Strategien für den Schauspieler Alltag, wie z.B Skript Analyse und Kommunikationsmethoden, sondern auch mit unglaublich vielen Hilfsmitteln zur eigenen emotionalen Entwicklung. Eine einzigartige Erfahrung. “

    “Kim Farrant’s masterclasses Raw Ruth and Sexuality on Screen were powerful and transformative experiences that reignited not only the love of my craft, but the love of my Self.

    Kim creates a sacred and safe space for actors to investigate their emotional history, confront limiting beliefs and unlock the channels to allow our authentic and truthful performance to emerge. This was more than just an acting masterclass. This was a masterclass for the soul. I recommend this to any actor, director or artist wanting to break into a new paradigm in their creativity and their life. “

    Bevor ich mit Kim Farrant trainierte, fiel es mir schwer, die komplexen Emotionen von Trauer und Verlust in meine Szenen zu integrieren. Kim öffnete mir die Augen für die Tiefe meiner eigenen Gefühle und zeigte mir, wie wichtig es ist, diese vollständig zu erleben und zuzulassen, um wahrhaft authentisch zu schauspielern.

    Am letzten Tag ihrer Masterclass erlebte ich einen emotionalen Durchbruch und positiven physischen Zusammenbruch – ich finde das immer noch unglaublich.

    Durch Kim bin ich meinen schauspielerischen Zielen viel näher gekommen. Sie zeigte mir den Weg, um mein volles Potenzial zu entfalten. Ich bin ihr von Herzen dankbar für diese transformative Erfahrung!

    “Working with Kim through her Raw Truth in Performance masterclass was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, experiences of my professional career (and life). The investment in this course is worth its weight in gold.

    As one who approached the class guarded and filled with skepticism, I was speechless by the walls and emotional blocks that Kim brought crashing down in a single day that I have spent years trying to get past through countless other means. Kim’s mastery of the tools and practices taught in this course combined with her care and patience for each actor as an individual make this a no-brainer for anyone considering enrolling in this masterclass. “
