“The work with Steph has been easily the most influential training I’ve done as an actor.”

Steph does that thing that frightens you as an actor and you are ABSOLUTELY desperate for- she helps you be honest with yourself. It's hard. It's rigorous. And it's wonderful.

“I trust Steph’s judgement more than I have ever done with a coach, as an artist and as a human.”
Deep Dive

In the course of my career I have had the privilege of working with gifted teachers at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the Royal Shakespeare Company. I can honestly say that Steph more than deserves her place alongside the best of the best. At Bodlondeb Steph has created the perfect environment for intensive learning.  Every last detail of space, accommodation and comfort has been considered from home baked bread to the wonderful warm studio space.  The precision and thoughtfulness which Steph has brought to the planning of the working /living environment is equally reflected in the brilliant structure of her teaching sessions. Steph is a master practitioner, every step of her work with us is expertly scaffolded to support the process of opening up to the point where we can make profound discoveries about ourselves as people and actors. Steph is an extraordinary talent. Her practice is imaginative, kind, precise and grounded in expertise. She gifts us her full self with honesty love and humility and is fearless in calling out pretence. She cares deeply about every member of the group and works tirelessly to bring the best out of everyone. This course will change you and, if you let it, will give you the tools to be joyful and free in your work and life. Do it!

It's so much more than acting. It's self improvement all over. Undoubtedly this has impacted me. What you're doing is exceptional, it has helped me so much.

I don't feel like I've not been to drama school. I feel totally ready for the industry. I don't think I'd be where I am today without you.

“Mate, just go. Trust me”. The words my dear friend said to me on the phone. I had spent the last 15 minutes questioning my place and voice in the industry, wondering why I never quite felt truly relaxed in performance, despite 4 years of professional training. She listened and then, in a childlike giddiness, told me about Both-Feet Acting. I booked on as soon as I hung up the phone. 

 

Last week, nearly a year after that call, I hugged my friend and thanked her. This training has done nothing short of changed my life. I can access parts of me that I never thought would be possible, I go into every audition with ease and JOY. With each day, I am figuring out more and more about who I am and what I want as an artist. I have Steph to thank for that. So, I won’t list all the incredible reasons why you should… Mate, just go. Trust me.

Wow, what a delight the Meisner Intensive Retreat was! I went over summer this year.

 

The location was absolutely beautiful. Our accommodation was super cosy. I had an amazing 12 days with Steph and the group. I was able to be present, I didn't connect to WiFi which helped.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the classes, bonding with the group by cooking meals together, going out in nature for wild swims, walks and attempting stand up paddle boarding. I laughed, I cried, I failed, I showed up for myself and I genuinely had such a great time. I'd recommend booking with Both Feet if you're an actor who wants to train human first, that's the motto, which I now lead with for all my auditions and the experience changed my life and my approach to the industry. Just do it!

I genuinely have never had such a profound feeling of gratitude than I have after doing this course. We just got back after the actors connects part one 4 day retreat at Bodlondeb and it’s hard to put into words what this has done for me not only as an artist but as a human being. I feel free, I feel so much more connected to myself and I can’t wait to see how that shows up in my work. It was brilliant to dig into the meisner technique with Steph who is incredible. She notices everything and helped me discover the ways in which I hide myself.

 

Using movement, breathing and meisner exercises I felt able to reconnect with the most authentic parts of myself. To take up space and release my tension. To strive for alignment as well as learning about our nervous system and our gut heart and brain ls and how they connect. I feel liberated and happy, I felt able to share deep emotions and play and be silly. To make friends that I know I will Keep forever after sharing this once in a lifetime experience and I cannot wait to go back for part 2. Steph kept us safe the whole time, held space to us and gave us permission to notice what we often hide or don’t have time to. It’s so hard to put this experience into words I could go on forever but if your considering this. Please do yourself a favour and do it!! 💖
