This isn't just actor training - it's a reset. Twelve days that strip everything back so you can reconnect with who you are, why you do this, and how to bring more of yourself to the work.

At Bodlondeb Studio & Retreat in North Wales, you'll live and train in a place that invites you to breathe again. Between the mountains and rivers, surrounded by people who care deeply about craft and courage, you'll find space to stretch - as an actor and as a human.

Rooted in the Meisner Technique, this intensive goes far beyond the surface. You'll learn to listen, to trust your impulses, and to respond truthfully under imaginary circumstances. We'll work through repetition, exercises, scene work, embodiment, play and stillness. You'll laugh a lot, probably cry, and you'll definitely grow.

You'll explore how you show up - not just in your acting, but in your life. You'll discover how much your body already knows, and how to use it to unlock truth and connection. You'll find freedom in the mess, and confidence in your humanity.

Maryam said: "The work has been so profound for me. I came away from Bod and within months I'd booked two jobs - roles I never thought I'd get cast in. I knew the training would carry me through, and it did."

The days are full and immersive. Mornings might begin with a wild swim or quiet reflection, followed by deep, practical training. Evenings bring warmth, good food, fireside chats and shared discoveries. You'll leave with tools that continue to serve you long after you've gone home.

Led by actor trainer and theatre-maker Stephanie Morgan, this retreat is rigorous, generous and life-changing.

For actors ready to stop performing and start connecting - to themselves, to each other, and to the work.
