A compassionate, ‘no BS’ approach to acting
At Mindful Acting, we view acting through the principles of mindfulness. Mindfulness training teaches the fundamental skills needed to succeed in acting: commitment, self-acceptance, connection, empathy, resilience, presence, and how to work with attention and awareness.
We offer mindfulness-based acting classes, workshops and private audition coaching in Manchester
Meet Dan
Actor, director and head acting teacher, Daniel Bradford, founded Mindful Acting because it’s the way he wished he’d been trained throughout his life.
