Brodie Agutter
“I have completed a 12-week block with Andrew Buchanan at the factory studio, during this time Andrew has helped me breakdown emotional walls, push through fears and really feel in the moment. Andrew teachings are not just Meisner based, he brings a wealth of experience and expertise to his classes. Andrew is thoughtful ensuring a safe space and safeguarding the wellbeing of his students. Not only did I learn a great deal about acting during these classes I also learned a great deal about myself. Andrew’s techniques are effective and easy to pick up, as I am all about the Meisner technique, Andrew helped me broaden my horizons and use other techniques to my benefit. This course has given me greater confidence and new tools for my next auditions and roles that I will gain for the future.
Thank you, Andrew, and thank you Chris from the Factory this was a truly amazing experience, and I will return for more in the future..”
