    About Paula J R.

    My aim is to help the “actor” achieve the greatest possibility for the existence of nuance, through the profound understanding of character development and its inevitable progression. And to assist the “person” to achieve their highest life goals. PPA (Primary Principles of Acting), a process I developed, engages the actor through private coaching and class work. I use improvisation and visualization as main tools. It is my goal that the actor become cognizant of those elements, which lay below our everyday awareness and utilize them in a responsible and conscious manner, awakening the true nature of the character. Creating a “Character Core” Using your Senses Wisely Memory + Imagination You and Your Subconscious And more... The ultimate objective is to have the actor create and embrace the character’s “sense of truth.”
