Flow State, Method Acting, and Becoming the Person You Want to Be Pt. 1

Welcome back! We’re discussing the psychology, neuroscience, and applications of method acting and flow state to develop behavioral and character range, aka “become the person you want.” This week’s communal Schauer will be very STEAM heavy, but don’t worry, next week we’re bringing it all together to cultivate a performance that feels personal and true to you (and who you could be).
