P.E.M - Emotional Access Course for Actors


  • Theatre Deli Houndsditch London, England United Kingdom (map)

Course Info

The Perdekamp Emotional Method (PEM) is a unique, biological approach to the human emotional system. Based on a period of over 15 years of research, German director and playwright Stephan Perdekamp created PEM to assist actors with accessing their emotions in a healthy, sustainable way for performance.

The exercises and tools created were observed to have enormous benefits to one's craft and emotional wellbeing, and thus PEM has now been implemented in major drama universities and acting schools internationally.

For performing artists, PEM's specialised exercises offer an opportunity to liberate the body and artistic soul from emotional blocks and problematic behaviours, thus unlocking their artistic potential.

The well-being benefits of PEM have been reviewed and commended by psychologists, therapists, and health professionals worldwide.

Teaching simple, carefully designed movement exercises, PEM brings the subconscious processes of emotions into conscious awareness, so they can be cleared, managed and strengthened, as well as consciously and creatively used for artistic purposes.

This course is aimed primarily at actors, however, any theatre makers such as directors or writers would greatly benefit from this process.
