Acting as Creative Spirituality

Fellow Actors,
Most of us sense how Sacred the work can be. We long for sublimity & for a sense of transcendence. Yet the day to day grind of business, reactive egos, massive uncertainty, and confusion about authentic spirituality often leave us disheartened.  

This site is devoted to an international community of professional actors who are interested in the spiritual dimensions of acting.   May this work contribute to the crazy wisdom of actor monks, stage sages, and silver screen rascal saints.  

I approach acting from the Heart of devotion; drawing on contributions from Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Joseph Chaikin,  Sanford Meisner, Constantine Stanislavsky, Larry Moss,  and many others.  I also play with the tools of magickians, shaman, yogis, poets, visionaries, therapist, & mystics to deepen the process.

In Gratitude,
James Wagner
