Mindful Acting - Manchester - Manchester

I've been working with Dan on camera scene study and also his regular group sessions this year. All I can say is believe all the hype and the consistent top reviews on Google. Yes it's from his students like me but it's thoroughly deserved. Dan is a highly intelligent, experienced, friendly, charismatic, approachable teacher. I've picked up a number of great tips from him about acting directly and also had very interesting philosophical discussions which indirectly affect acting. I'll definitely be back for more sessions. Dan, thank you very much!

Dan is great, so knowledgeable and lovely, he creates a really supportive and productive environment. He has really helped me to improve my confidence and self belief, whilst also helping my acting technique hugely. I am excited to continue developing with Mindful Acting!

Dan is an incredible coach, and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with him. What makes him stand out is how he really starts with you—your motivation, your goals, and what makes you unique. He takes the time to get to know your strengths and areas where you can grow, creating a truly personalized approach. On top of that, he has an amazing arsenal of techniques that are so practical and helpful, making every session not just insightful but genuinely transformative.

Dan was a true game-changer for my acting skills. He provided me with mindful yet practical solutions, invaluable exercises, and fresh perspectives that completely transformed my approach. His incorporation of meditation, energy-shifting techniques, and allowing the imagination to flow not only enhanced my craft but have become lifelong tools I continue to rely on, even off-camera. Thanks to Dan, my work has improved massively, and I’m a much more grounded and versatile actor because of it.

Dan is a phenomenal teacher who helps students to cut through the mental chatter - our theories, assumptions and 'shoulds' - and access acting which is simple, authentic and profound. He teaches with eloquence, compassion and good humour, and can meet you wherever you are in your journey. Working with him is a lesson in life where I come up against my growth edges, my vulnerability and my resistance, in a learning space that is safe and free of judgment.

I can’t recommend Dan’s classes enough. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced actor, Dan knows exactly how to support everyone’s growth. His feedback is always constructive and supportive, so you always know what to focus on to improve, and he gives you the tools and ideas to help.

The safe atmosphere Dan creates encourages everyone to take risks and learn from them. His weekly classes address common challenges, as well as things we don’t even realise are holding us back, using techniques and insights I haven’t seen anywhere else. By week 4 of Scene Study, it’s always amazing to see how much progress everyone has made.

Dan puts so much care and energy into every class and is an incredible teacher. There’s really nothing like his classes in Manchester!

Incredibly insightful classes. Unlike any other acting classes I've been to before , Mindful Acting has the perfect combination of real life mindfulness practices to get to know yourself , your emotions and your relationship to others in order to perform in your most authentic way . I'm still learning a lot but after each session, I come away feeling much lighter , self accepting and also have a much deeper understanding of acting and what it really takes to create a great performance .Would recommend to everyone 🌠
