Horror Director Patricia Chica to teach The Unlimited Actor Method in lush Mexican Retreat
The Unlimited Actor, an inspiring new paradigm in actor training, shifts the focus of the art of acting from “thoughts” and “actions” into the realm of character “energy,” the fountain-spring from which thoughts and actions flow.
“Based on my years of experience as a director of actors and non-actors, I recommend this technique to any creative performing artist and filmmaker, as it infuses performances with an authenticity that is connected to the inner life force. You can also use this method to humanize darker characters (e. g. villains, monsters, zombies, vampires, werewolves, witches, psychopaths, victims) making them compelling and believable on screen. Production value elevates when you use these tools, especially in low budget genre films,” says acting coach Patricia Chica, who has been using energy work with the actors in all her award-winning films.
Award-winning filmmaker Patricia Chica (Ceramic Tango, Serpent’s Lullaby, A Tricky Treat), recognized for her innovative work with actors, invites performing artists of every skill level to join her for a 4-Day Retreat exploring The Unlimited Actor method. This technique was created by mentor and master teacherNancy Mayans in New York. Mentored by Mayans, Chica has teamed up with another certified
Mayans coach, Fátima López (Mexican actress and Best-Selling author) to create this cutting-edge workshop.

This unique and ground-breaking creative experience will be set against the backdrop of Tepoztlán, Mexico, a magical location renowned for its strong electro-magnetic field, adding an exciting charge to the powerful energy work.
Students will discover the empowering tools that expand their understanding of how energy galvanizes their character work using this effective method. They will quickly be able to craft nuanced performances through the use of sound, colour, laughter, and dance. These exercises are designed to help students access their Emotional Depth, increase the scope of theirImagination, sharpen their Focus, create a Radiant Presence, and move into their "creative zone" withconfidence.
The Unlimited Actor expands the actor’s own commitment to the craft. It ignites an energy in them that magnifies all the other techniques they already have in their toolbox, and brings a greater depth and authenticity to the characters they play. As for filmmakers and stage directors this method empowers them with an understanding of how to use energy in their own creative work directing performances.
“During this retreat, students will discover new possibilities and gain creative confidence. They are able to elevate their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual potential in order to reach a more connected performance,” adds Chica.
