WHY

THIS INDUSTRY CAN OFTEN FEEL VERY ISOLATING.

MOST ACTORS ONLY GET TO COLLAB WHEN WITH ONE ANOTHER ON A JOB, THERE’S NO SET STRUCTURE OR SCHEDULE TO STICK TOO, it can have an IMPACT on OUR MENTAL HEALTH, NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL PITFALLS THAT CAN COME WITH JOB.

WE CAN SOMETIMES FORGET THE JOY, LEAVING US FORGETTING WHY WE GOT INTO THIS INDUSTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WHAT

GAUN YERSEL’ OFFERS A SPACE FOR PROFESSIONAL ACTORS TO COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY & TO ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER TO KEEP UP THeiR CRAFT.

THINK OF US AS AN ACTORS GYM. A PLACE FOR YOU TO KEEP honing your SKILLS, and to CONNECT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY outside the industry structure.

WE ARE PEER-LED, RATHER THAN TAUGHT TRAINING, aND ALWAYS ENCOURAGE COLLABORATION & SKILL SHARING.

COMMUNITY. CRAFT. CURIOSITY.

Spaces like this are essential for actors to take risks, build confidence, and push their work forward.
