THE ARDAVANY APPROACH - CONSCIOUSNESS IN ACTION
The Ardavany Approach is an innovative method to enhance perception and creative expression for actors. By utilizing The Approach, the actor connects to his inner “present” power source for maximum impact both on-camera and on-stage. This innovative, “conscious” route into the process of acting is easily accessible and extremely effective.
Action is at the heart of American culture. Ardavany’s insightful and advanced approach helps you define/perform the “right action” under every circumstance. The working actor needs to enlist perfect composure to do his work in every media. When the actor is free to be fully “present” in each moment, he is able to extinguish fear, consciously prepare and identify right action.
Ardavany explains, “The place of fearless existence is what we strive for; that is the goal! A destination achieved by realizing the Living Actor Principle, taking the right action, using our life as a stage and knowing where we are going.”
Once fully established in the present moment, the actor naturally understands the core essence of his character while simultaneously understanding the characteristics and needs of those around him. He can then align, attune, and intentionally control what s/he projects to the world.
CLASSES
Classes focus on helping the actor master his relationship with the camera. Class modules consist of scene study, cold reading, character development, and techniques for mastering the art of auditioning. Class sessions blend interactive exercises that encourage curiosity and imagination with conscious breathing techniques that allow one to enter into the gateway of personal authenticity.
Simply and effectively, The Approach teaches the actor to deeply understand his or her history and character by unveiling his personal truth and archetypal journey. With these tools, the actor can proceed with purposeful dimension into future storylines.
THE STORY OF THE APPROACH
Tom Ardavany, a charismatic, spiritual soul with a talent for teaching, developed the Ardavany Approach over 15 years of practicing as an actor, director, and teacher.
In his earlier years, working with various acting studios and in master classes, Ardavany cultivated the techniques he found worked and discarded those that did not. Ardavany still felt at a loss however, when it came to having a foolproof method to confidently use while working on set.
No teaching properly prepared him to work in the context of a foreign environment outside the classroom. The intense stressors of working in the television and film industry, for example, were not being addressed.
“Nothing helped me realize my full potential when action was called,” Ardavany explains.
Fifteen years later, after many years of focused effort, The Approach methodology effectively eliminates these obstacles and allows the actor to perform his craft in a fearless, “present” state of being.
