WHAT IS BEATTM?

BEATTM stands for Beck Emotional Access Technique and is the acting method we teach at the studio.

BEATTM was developed by the studio’s founder and director Fay Beck. It is a practical methodology for accessing emotions thereby allowing you to play characters who behave differently to you and who experience the world differently from you.
