SURF Acting Method is a wellness class for creatives! Azarias Daniels teaches people how to heal, train and create from movement. Who are you, really? Do you find yourself stuck in certain roles from either your acting career or your personal life? SURF Out of Your Character: A Wellness Practice for Actors shares my proven SURF method, which uses acting techniques to heal emotional pain. As a professional actor, I learned how to get into character for many different roles. But I created SURF from a personal need to learn how to get out of some of those same characters, both professionally and personally. After the loss of my father, I crafted SURF as a way to combine my professional acting training and new movement techniques I was studying, creating a way out of my character of the grieving daughter role. Since then, I have been able to use SURF to release myself from acting roles, as well as other roles I found myself playing in my personal life: pleaser, manipulator, victim. I then began teaching the method to others as a professor of movement at an acting school, and found a way to help others in the same way. This class explores the four steps of the SURF process: Story, Understanding, Recasting, and Flow. It will give you opportunities to actively take part in the process so you can experience its healing potential. Using this process, actors can explore and challenge various stories in their lives, using performance, self-reflection, and movement to confront and move on from roles they find themselves stuck in. I challenge you to give this practice a try, allowing yourself to be released from any negative roles and to imagine and recast a kinder, lighter version of the story.
