Synopsis

This is not an introductory workshop. This is the advanced evolution of The Dangerous Actor, a full-day, high-performance lab designed for actors who already understand the fundamentals of self-taping, and are ready to take their tapes to another level. In this exclusive masterclass, Les Chantery introduces a new set of cutting-edge, scientifically grounded tools that go beyond “watchable” performance into the realm of feelable, unforgettable self-tapes. These advanced frameworks combine the latest findings from neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics to help actors achieve true cut-through in an oversaturated self-tape market. You’ll learn how to:
  • Turn your self-tapes from watchable to "feelable" by taking high-stakes risks
  •  Use insights from psychology and behavioral economics to unlock "dangerous" acting choices
  • Apply secret tactics drawn from the world’s leading experts in behaviour and human science to make your work original, unpredictable, and unforgettable.
  •  Design your self-tape and make it unmistakably yours.
This is an advanced training experience for experienced actors who want to take their self-tapes and callbacks to another level.
