“PEM has empowered me as an artist and as a human being. It has given me tools with which I can finetune my craft every day. It continues to astound me with its well of access into the most primal and intimate parts of myself, while threading into a knowing that the ensemble I’m with is deepening our connection as we collectively explore our shared humanity.“

FAQ:

Do I need acting experience to attend?

Yes. PEM uses a physical, body-based approach designed to avoid emotional mining or personal trauma.

The techniques taught are designed to support both subtle and intense emotional work for stage and screen.

Testimonial

“The PEM (Perdekamp Emotional Method) teacher training was honestly one of the most useful and eye-opening experiences I’ve had as an acting educator. It takes all the mystery (and occasional madness) out of emotional access and replaces it with a clear, practical system that actually works , no trauma, no tears, just great technique. It’s scientific, safe, and strangely liberating to know you can call up an emotion on cue and then leave it behind when the scene’s done.

I’d recommend it to any acting teacher who’s ever thought, “There has to be a better way to do this.” There is , it’s called PEM.”
