About the event
For actors navigating auditions, rejection, performance anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, and the pressure that comes with trying to stay grounded in this industry. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and practical performance tools, the focus is not on “getting rid” of nerves—but learning how to work with them.
This event is presented by ZBR FLM PRDCTNS in collaboration with the Counselling Support Centre Online. We aim to promote mental wellness through film, particularly supporting individuals in this challenging field.
