Satsang
Satsang
Satsang is a communal event that combines spiritual practice into your training and unveils the profound, spiritual depths of acting, which will take place on Zoom on the third weekend of each month. For more details about times, please see below.
What is it? In the ever-evolving world of theatre, the ancient practice of Satsang offers a profound method for actors to deepen their craft and enhance their on-stage presence. Satsang, a Sanskrit term meaning "gathering in truth," is a practice rooted in mindfulness, communal introspection, and the pursuit of spiritual wisdom. This immersive workshop will explore how the principles of Satsang can help actors cultivate a heightened sense of self-awareness, emotional authenticity, and ensemble synergy. Through guided meditation, focused breathing exercises, and reflective group discussions, participants will tap into their inner truth and learn to channel it into their performances. Join us to discover how integrating Satsang into your acting toolkit can lead to more truthful portrayals, a deeper connection with your fellow actors, and a more resonant experience for your audience.
Co-Artistic Director Budi Miller will lead the Satsang, which will also feature a rotating cast of additional Theatre of Others company members. All questions about the craft of theatre, spirituality, and presence are welcome and can be asked of Budi, or put to the group as a whole.
