RECENT PRAISE FOR CATHY’S WORKSHOPS
“The Cathy Brady workshop changed me as an actor. I found my creativity in the moment excelled to levels I had not previously experienced. Her methods made me look at and interpret text in a different way.”

“Cathy’s course was awe inspiring. I have acted for years but it still had the ability to connect with something I had not touched on before. “

“Cathy’s workshop was so exciting. I’ve never worked with a director who had such belief in guiding people to the heart of a scene. I learned as much from watching her work with other actors as i did from working on my own scene.”

 “She refused to let anyone pretend they knew what they were doing and in doing so she pushed them to a deeper form of vulnerability which made watching everyone so interesting.“

“Cathy gave me practical tools to break a scene open, to get to the core of it and find out what is really going on. I think every actor should do this course!“

“It was wonderful to work in an environment that encouraged truth, freedom and presence in the moment.“
