Simple, honest, and straightforward, Practical Aesthetics is both an acting technique and a philosophy.

The technique gives actors an empowering set of analytical and physical tools. The actor learns to analyze scenes for tangible, physically-playable objectives, and uses his or her imagination, voice, body, and sense of play to bring the character and the story to life.

The philosophy insists on self-reliance, professional work habits, as well as mutual support and respect between artists.
