Impulse & Emotions with John Orcsik
LEARN TO ACCESS AUTHENTIC EMOTIONS ON CUE!
Over years of working in Film & TV , John found he was required to reach deep emotional places on a busy set, with little time to prepare, and with few takes.
Emotional recall and sense memory became unsustainable and dangerous.
After studying the nature, purpose and qualities of emotions and where they are in the body's natural energy centres, John created a simple physical technique where you can access and express any emotion.
On cue.
At will.
