The Elysium Aesthetic

Week Six: The Road To Elysium

Happy Monday! Welcome back to Acting Class Daily and Part One of The Elysium Aesthetic. We begin each month with a complimentary, week one perspective-shaper. A tone-setter for the tools and practices we’ll be covering over the next three weeks in each of our three areas of lifelong growth: artistry, instrument and craft. Enjoy!


New to the work? These free introductory chapters are where we recommend you start: Kindred Spirits, What Is Good Acting?, Growing Excellence, The Muscles of Preparation.

This Month’s Focus

Part One: The Road To Elysium

Today’s Class

The Road To Elysium

Today’s Target

Let’s begin by looking at the elements of earning excellence.

​The muscles, the instincts, the habits, that take us beyond fleeting success … and make this way of working - living truthfully through imaginary circumstances with personal, professional pride - our constant.
