Private Acting Coaching - Emotional Distiancing Phenomenon
Explore intense emotions through your character’s body, without drawing on your own pain. Private acting coaching with Gulu Monteiro, creator of EDP.
Discover a different way to bring a character to life. In this 90-minute private online session, you will work directly with Gulu Monteiro, creator of the Emotional Distancing Phenomenon (EDP), to explore emotion through the character’s physical life and your imagination, without relying on painful personal memories. Through guided movement, imaginative exercises, and improvisation, you will explore how physical choices can awaken a character’s emotions while you remain aware of yourself as the performer. The session is tailored to your experience and goals, whether you are developing a character, preparing a scene or monologue, or discovering EDP for the first time. You will receive individual feedback and practical exercises to continue exploring independently. You are welcome to bring a scene or monologue, but no prepared material is required. Gulu brings more than 40 years of experience in theater and actor training, including teaching at USC, UCLA, and L’École du Jeu in Paris. Explore greater emotional depth, physical freedom, and the pleasure of creating.
