Dream Work for Actors and Artists with Ken Barnett

In-Person: Dream Work for Actors and Artists

with Ken Barnett

In this workshop, participants will explore fresh material from their unconscious mind, which will be communicated through a dream. With this potent material, we can explore the depths of our inner lives.

The participants will receive guidance to engage in physical work while also being encouraged to relax their thinking mind, allowing the truth held in their body to freely emerge.

Explore the depths of your being to find what wants to be revealed through your creative work, and uncover any limiting thoughts or behaviours that hinder your ability to express yourself fully.

“The dream is a theater in which the dreamer is himself the scene,

the player, the prompter, the author, the producer, the public and the critic.”

Carl Gustav Jung

What is standing in your way in your acting/writing/creative work?
What might you be holding on to that you no longer need?

When artists actively engage with their own dreams, they develop techniques that can be utilised in any script or creative project, intensifying their personal bond with their work. Like all dreams, each role or project presents a chance to learn, develop, and progress towards wholeness.

This course is suitable for both beginners and individuals who have previous experience with Dreamwork. Participants will have the chance to explore either a personal dream or a current creative project. While the workshop primarily caters to actors, artists from all fields are also encouraged to join. The small and personal setting of this immersive workshop allows us to create a powerful space for exploring the unconscious material that is ready to emerge. Please plan to attend all sessions.

“Dreamwork with Ken is absolutely transformational. Ken’s workshop helped me find my way into my work in the deepest and most direct way I’ve experienced in years. Dreamwork bypasses the limitations of thinking about acting preparation, and dives into that so often inaccessible creative pool. Ken is a gentle, respectful and reassuring guide into wonderful realms. I will use this approach in all of my work from here on. Do this; it’s amazing.”Becky L.
““Prior to working with Ken, my ability to consistently access a deep emotional connection to story and character felt stuck. I knew I needed a new approach. Ken is not only highly adept at laying a path to access the unconscious, but his compassion and keen observational skills make for a safe and wholly satisfying actor/teacher relationship. It is often said that we, as actors, are charged with excavating emotional truths. With Ken, ‘excavating’ becomes a process by which the guide (Ken) leads you straight to the site with the greatest riches, and aids you in carefully and methodically sweeping away the debris to reveal the gold that awaits you.”” – Welker W.
“Ken Barnett is a gift to artists looking for deeper contact with themselves in their creative work. He is an intuitive, intelligent, kind-hearted guide into the subconscious. I feel safe and seen in his hands, and able to explore my dreams and work in a way that feels true. Ever grateful for his guidance in this work.”Sarah B.
