Episode 1. Becoming Someone Else. How Acting Helps Us Expand Who We Are

This episode is with Elena Lander, actress, former TV presenter and founder of Renyxa Lab, on how acting helps us discover the many personalities that live inside each of us. We talk about acting as a way to expand ourselves, to understand who we are and to dig into the treasures we carry inside.

Elena explains what psychological acting is and its roots in the Stanislavski method, and how the Michael Chekhov technique starts from the body instead. We also talk about why acting isn't only for professional actors, and how it can be a richer way to live your life.
