The Acting Deck is a hands-on tool built around the Crosspoints System, designed to support actors, directors, and performance-makers in both preparation and rehearsal. Rooted in over 35 years of international experience and drawing from traditions like Stanislavski, Grotowski, Meisner, and Viewpoints—as well as somatic and interdisciplinary practices—Crosspoints provides a flexible, intuitive framework for unlocking expressive range and generating meaningful action in performance.
Each card in the Acting Deck offers a stimulus, question, or prompt that serves as a point of intersection—between the actor and the character, the inner life and external form, the individual and the ensemble, or the performer and the environment. Whether you’re diving into a scripted role, devising new work, or exploring postdramatic or immersive performance, the deck helps shift your perspective, break habits, and approach your craft from fresh angles.
Unlike fixed-method systems, Crosspoints encourages fluid movement between techniques, embracing the idea that performance is made through dynamic relationships—not static rules. The Acting Deck makes this process tactile, visual, and portable, offering a structured yet open-ended way to access inspiration, solve creative challenges, and deepen presence.
