‘life is not measured by the breaths we take …….
but by the moments that take our breath away'
Perth Actors Collective
Creative Intensive 15 (residential long weekend)
October 28-30, 2011
Is it time you did something for yourself and took some time out to discover where you are at creatively? what’s holding you back and what creative blocks you may have? Perth Actors Collective is proud to present their 10th residential Creative Intensive 15 on the weekend of 1st-3rd October, 2011. This is no ordinary weekend course but one where you can remove yourself from all distractions and enjoy the wonderful monastery town of New Norcia whilst undergoing intensive, challenging and energising creative exercises. Guided tuition will be given by 3 capable and experienced teachers. All your meals and accommodation are provided so that you can focus totally on you.
Here’s what others have said about the Creative Intensive weekend:
“The weekend was amazing, as are you! And also Ali and Janet too.
I have arrived home with the biggest smile on my face and so much joy in my heart. The weekend enabled me to understand, realise and acknowledge what has always driven me and what how important it is to me.
I realised how many times in my life I've postponed my dreams and found ways to sabotage my hopes.
I now understand that I am no different from anyone else who has achieved their dreams." - Chloe King
“I have to admit that before I embarked on the weekend I was somewhat sceptical as to what profound new things one could learn in a mere weekend. Suffice to say, and I do not to any extent consider this an exaggeration, I gained an understanding and appreciation of myself and all that I have to offer. I feel empowered and inspired to wholeheartedly and unreservedly commit to my most ambitious dreams. I am more motivated than I have ever been and have never felt this creatively unhinged.” - Melanie Bennett.
“The weekend couldn't have been any better. It was challenging, exhilarating, empowering, exhausting, and relaxing all at the same time. I really wouldn't change anything about the weekend. The structuring was perfect, and you all did a fantastic job. I felt really supported and cared about, and I'm now feeling much more inspired to work toward all my creative goals again.” - Lisa Timmerman
"Such an insightful and amazing weekend. The organisation of the event was top notch from beginning to end – nothing was not considered. The food was lovely and abundant – never left feeling hungry, in fact, I don’t usually eat that much! The venue was perfect. A lovely place of reflection, spirituality and insight.” - Leanne Curran
“It was a challenging weekend, but an experience of a lifetime. Thankyou so much for your support, warmth and strong interest to help everyone, especially myself, achieve our dreams." - Katharina Spanbroek
“Your knowledge and insights are pure gold, i feel blessed to of gone on this journey. I feel i have been given tools to not only help me with my acting career but also my life. Thank you for this amazing experience and dedication and passion for the creative intensive. I love this quote and thought i would send it to you, 'stop siting there with your hands folded looking on, doing nothing.Get into action and live this full glorious life.Now. You have to do it.'(Eileen Candy The Dawn of Change)" - Jessica Lily
“A truly amazing weekend. I feel that my whole way of thinking has shifted and become considerably clearer. I feel more positive, inspired and in tune with my emotions and feelings. It was great to spend the weekend with such wonderful, creative people and the whole experience was beyond my expectations." -
Holly Garvey
“As a creative I can safely say that one of the hardest obstacles to overcome in both career and my own journey in life is that of my own self; writer's block, insecurities, comparisons to more successful peers, where to focus my energies, which projects to pursue, the list goes on . But how does one overcome something so subjective? How does one get motivated when motivation is so conceptual? Well Creative Intensive may just have the answers.
Since attending I now have an arsenal of ammo ready to cut down almost anything that stands in my way. I have been more focused and self aware, I have done more film work in the last six months then I had in the previous five years, my projects have taken massive strides in quality and integrity, and the above mentioned issues have since been almost non-existent!
Creative Intensive is something that I would recommend to anyone who feels held back in their chosen craft. An experience to remember!" - Stefan Androc Radanovich
"There are many life changing events that happen to us over the years we walk upon this world, many negative, but some, profoundly positive. Creative Intensive is one of those positive events that will have repercussions well into the future for me. How do I feel after completing Creative Intensive 14? I think the best way to describe it is that I feel different, and my soul is singing. I am not the same person I was before attending – I am better, calmer, assured and so much happier than I have ever been." - Lee Shepherd
"It was one of the best weekends I have ever experienced. I have felt so inspired and driven to achieve my goals, and have already completed one of my 1 year goals! Before CI 14 I doubted myself and what I hope to achieve in my life, but that weekend changed me for the better. I now feel motivated and a sense of clarity, it's the best feeling!!!" - Renee Hammond
