Watford

Welcome to The Actor's Cafe. We provide expert, concise acting tuition from experienced teachers who are also industry professionals. The courses support students to develop in their ability to create truthful acting performances. As a natural result of exploring the craft of acting - students learn more about themselves through character exploration, and so a natural bi-product of the course is the growth of the students self-development. We also provide students with opportunities to meet with professional creatives, who have been known to collaborate with our students on various acting projects including commercials, film and short films. The actor's cafe also provides opportunities to be involved with it's own Spotlight accredited productions for theatre and film.

The Holding Time Project

the holding time project

‘The Holding Time Project’ is a rolling inter-disciplinary, co-created portrait of breastfeeding.The outcomes of the project include writing and performances by breastfeeding mothers, animated portraits as immersive installations, audio tours using narratives and interviews, a Youtube channel and podcast. The project has been shortlisted for this year’s Royal College of Midwives Excellence in Public Health. These courses are designed to help new mothers, or anyone who has recently given birth, an opportunity to create poetry or prose from the experience of the post part period. With a particular emphasis on wellbeing, the process of creating new writing is an opportunity to make meaning form what can be a difficult journey to parenthood. In particular, the struggle to feed whilst recovering from birth, is a time when many find themselves isolated and grappling with a huge amount of new information. Writing, as a therapy can help to locate and identify key moments in this journey, giving the experience shape and definition.  Rachel New, our writing coach is an experienced workshop lead with years of writing and radio producing behind her. She designed this series of sessions to help mothers navigate their new landscape of motherhood as a group.  These workshops support the wider Holding Time programme, aimed at normalizing breastfeeding, deepening public engagement and increasing social concern for the needs of breastfeeding mothers and those who tried but were unable to breastfeed.
