I loved teaching at The Actors Room in Byron Bay this year, I have fond memories of working with a group of talented, open-hearted actors to help them find more depth, truth and layers in their performances.
Kate and Diva are a joy to collaborate with, and made me feel so welcome. Byron Bay is a gorgeous part of the world blessed with stunning beaches and natural beauty, excellent restaurants and cafes and friendly locals, so it’s a lovely place for a working holiday.

I loved the fascinating journey, expanding of body, soul, spirit, within the Raw Truth 3 day intensive masterclass with Kim Farrant. It was an experience unlike any other in my lifetime!
I have come away with a deepened respect for myself, for others, and a more advanced approach, even with regards to my work as a fashion model.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone to broaden themselves in their work, a fresh perspective for all connections, and capacity for living life to the fullest.

A select few experiences in life are called life changing precisely because they have the power to change your life... if you are willing to surrender your fear and let the change happen.
That is what Kim Farrant’s classes are: life changing. The magic she weaves harnessing psychology, philosophy and solid practical theory and application opens up parts of the self long forgotten, perhaps utterly unknown.
The results continue to reverberate through your system long after the class has closed, challenging you to bear witness to your fears and blocks, honour them, soothe them, integrate them: and in so doing I feel I’ve expanded my acting repertoire significantly, building a technical toolkit that has proved invaluable in tackling challenges I previously thought impossible.
So very much worth the inevitable, but necessary pain of rewiring, realigning and rewilding my craft.

Meeting Kate changed my life. She invited me into her world and her artistry with so much love and compassion. She believed in me and for that I will forever be touched. She is so incredibly devoted to her work and is such an extremely talented actor who runs 'The Actors Room Byron Bay' which is a transformative collaborative space where actors walk in one way and leave another.
It’s a space where I truly felt held and supported, free of judgement - giving me permission to express and experiment in great depth. Kate brings together the most talented creatives and master mentors to create the most monumental work.
Immersing in this space I experienced the magic of finding and owning myself, having breakthroughs and releasing my blocks which has only been completely life-changing for me in both my personal and artistic life. So much love and appreciation for Kate and all the actors and directors who I share this experience with.
The level of work produced by The Actors Room is phenomenal."

"The Actors Room in Byron came to me at a time I didn't know I needed it the most.
I wanted to learn more about character development and strengthen my process as an actress. What I received from working with Actors Room in Byron was a beautiful community and wholesome experience of self discovery.
Thanks to the workshop with Anthony Young and the incredible, fun and encouraging space at The Actors Room, I now have expansive tools not only to nurture my career as an actress, but to continue nurturing myself personally, emotionally and spiritually.
Thank you for the incredible, expansive and supportive environment that you created for us to play in."

Kim Farrant is an absolute powerhouse and force to be reckoned with.
Her ability to deeply empathise and connect with herself and the actor is beyond this world. Kim is the embodiment of a strong feminine creative, leader and pioneer in the industry. Kim provides a space where all of you is welcome, and authenticity and emotion is celebrated.
Not only does Kim work in an embodied way but has so much knowledge, wisdom and life experience which she truthfully explores and encourages when working with the actor.
Kim is an advocate for your autonomy as an artist, and encourages setting healthy boundaries, self-reflection and inquiry as an actor.
I truly believe Kim is one of the few people who can hold space for individuals to push past limitations to really meet the edges of themselves and their craft. Kim is incredibly real and an amazing director and mentor that I have had the pleasure of learning from.

Taking the leap to come back to acting was an enormous and magical step for me.
With fears very alive, I was met with 100% pure enthusiasm. Kate Jaggard offered me great courage and generous support all the way through the enrolment and process of my first MasterClass and each one since.
The Actors Room offers world-class acting courses in a safe environment, creating a hub and community of incredible actors and humans, supporting the local area and region at large.
The Actors Room is putting Byron Bay on the map as a creative stronghold.

Embarking on the journey of Raw Truth (RT) and Sexuality on Screen (SOS) has been nothing short of transformative.
Under Kim's guidance, it's been a magical exploration. Kate, Actors Room Byron Bay, the brilliant orchestrator of this workshop, deserves special recognition for gathering a community of like-minded souls, fostering an atmosphere where camaraderie and shared purpose thrived. Kate you are a Queen. Kim's ability to create a space where one feels truly heard, seen, and understood is enchanting. Infused with love, respect, and boundless compassion, her approach ignites a rediscovery of forgotten depths within oneself, unveiling the raw, imperfect beauty of our humanity.
This transformative journey doesn't just refine acting skills; it reshapes the very essence of authenticity and truth in performance. Kim's clear processes provide invaluable tools to navigate creative blocks, empowering actors to embody characters with raw honesty and vulnerability, both on and off the stage. In reflecting on this experience, I can't help but empathize the profound impact it has had on my artistic expression and personal growth. It's a journey that has forever altered my approach, guiding me towards a path of unapologetic humanity and truth in my craft.
