PHYSICAL LIFE through GREAT PLAYS with TIM PHILLIPS STUDIO
With more than 60,000 coaching sessions and 40+ years in the business, audition coach and premiere acting teacher Tim Phillips knows what works. Originally Meisner-trained, Phillips realized the need for a process that would bring the truthfulness of character and object work to the high-paced turnarounds the Film & TV industry demand, especially for auditions.
Sherlock Holmesing The Text was invented to meet that demand. Phillips raises the craft required for great auditioning to an art, and continues to teach highly committed, free, and independent artists how to be prepared, willing, and down to play - no matter what the work. Now, five years after returning to the building blocks of his training with in-person teaching, and a year and a half after online development, Tim has simplified the training he received and presents it to actors through his BUILDING THE PHYSICAL LIFE OF THE CHARACTER.

Physical Life-Great Plays
Tim Phillips of Tim Phillips Studio has spent more than 40 years as an acting teacher and audition coach, teaching artists of all ages how to access their greatest truths through finding character. While the stage is far preferable to gain the full Physical Life experience, more can be done on-camera (even from a distance), than he originally thought possible.
The actors and the scenes presented this evening are not the full roster - working actors have to work:)
On Oct 17, at 7:30pm Eastern/4:30pm Pacific, we support the artists who, for the first time, take the private work of in-class training into the public arena. We are always learning, we are always growing, and Prism is especially grateful to the artists and to Mr. Phillips for the generosity of this experience.

“You have to go through this process in order to actually own it, otherwise it’s just a thought. We’re building the spine of the character, not a judgement. Working this way, you discover it’s just true, you don’t have to justify the work, it’s simply physical, isn’t it?
This is strange to many actors because it requires almost no thought. It’s the ultimate “pinch ouch”. You know how when you stub your toe you go, “Oh fuck?” — It’s that. It’s absolutely truthful.” ”
