Description

Some things that I have learnt as an actor that are VERY useful for living a healthy life.

Emotional Yoga - learn how to manipulate your breath so you can stretch your emotional body and keep it flexible. You will also be able to use this technique to clear out emotional residue and buildup.

Emotional PPE - how to stay safe in the face of extreme emotion, from other people and yourself.

Embodied Imagination - learn how to get your body to respond to your mind, not the other way around.

An international director, she has had successful seasons in Edinburgh, Berlin and all-over New Zealand.

She has bought several NZ classics to the international stage and her hit comedy show, Femme Natale, recently went to the Edinburgh Festival and received 5-star reviews as well as comments such as ‘genius’, ‘clever and hilarious’ and ‘the funniest show of my fringe’.

Since moving back to New Zealand, Fingal Pollock has worked as an actor to help train many people-facing professionals including the Royal College of GPs, The Royal NZ Police College, The Psychology School of Massey University, The Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand, Christchurch International Airport, WorkSafe and the Otago Medical School. In addition, she has worked with many professional artists and companies including Wētā Workshop, Clown Doctors NZ, Little Dog Barking, Circa Theatre, Toi Whakaari, The Improvisors and CluedUp.
