Acclaimed acting coach Miranda Harcourt will discuss how actors can craft a journey through their material, how verbatim text can help us achieve naturalism and how our thoughts translate through the lens. As she did in her last livestream, Miranda will bring case studies and research about the ways psychology and neuroscience supports your performance. Last time she discussed how you can achieve unselfconsciousness, inner life and responsiveness by balancing your vista, connection and internal landscape.

The Actor and the Second Assistant Director: Nick Hadland in Conversation with Monica Main
Would you like to better understand how a film set works and how actors collaborate with the Second Assistant Director? The 2nd AD is the main point of contact for all actors on set. During pre-production, they break down the script, organise fittings and rehearsals, and arrange transport and facility requirements for cast members. Once filming begins, they prepare the next day’s call sheet, ensure actors are ready when needed, and coordinate transport, make-up, and wardrobe schedules. Working closely with the 1st AD, they help keep everything running smoothly. Join Second Assistant Director Nick Hadland and Equity member Monica Main as he shares insights into his role, how he works with actors, and what you need to know about on-set protocols—so you can feel confident and prepared when you step on set.
Credits: Nick has worked on a diverse range of film and television productions in the Assistant Director's department including: Heartbreak High, Last King of the Cross, Mr Inbetween, Interceptor, Total Control, Ruby’s Choice and more recently Stan's Sunny Nights and the film SOS: Send Help.
