Upcoming Workshops

Working with Emotions

A Practical Approach for Actors, Acting Teachers, Coaches, and Directors

This workshop is being held in two cities in 2025


Led by Emotional Body Instructors Ines Buchli and Tom Stroud, the five-day intensive will provide participants with an introduction to Emotional Fluency Training for Actors(EFTA). EFTA is a somatic, consent-forward, trauma-informed approach to safely working with emotion in the acting process that utilizes the Emotional Effector Patterns (EEP) as a system to enter, exit and regulate emotion with control and agency.


This workshop is limited to 16 participants. If you have previously taken this workshop, we have found that many people get great benefit and significantly advance their skills by taking it for a second time. Special discount for those who have previously done an EFTA workshop.


The workshop is open to professional actors, directors, coaches, and acting teachers.  Advanced theatre students will also be considered. Although no experience with the Emotional Effector Patterns is required, theatre practitioners with experience in the Emotional Effector Patterns who are interested in exploring ways of integrating the EEP into theatre practice are welcome. 


For any questions please contact us at emotionalfluency@gmail.com.

Vancouver June 6th-10th

Participants in the workshop will receive reference material outlining the history and evolution of the EEP, the development of EFTA and the correlation to the current research in emotion science. 

On a practical level participants will:

  • learn the basic Emotional Effector Patterns (EEP); how to use them to create complex emotions; how to safely enter, exit and regulate emotions
  • explore exercises to increase somatic awareness and how to integrate EFTA into the classroom or rehearsal process
  • direct, coach or perform a short monologue or scene using the EEP
