About Us
Creating Artists since 2020
Joel and Kylie pooled their talents and started Creating Artists to help actors reach their performance potential faster by providing acting tools based on science.
Here at Creating Artists we teach evidence-based acting techniques based on Kylie’s published research to help actors reach the peak performance state. Our teaching methods are based on a theoretical framework called the “The hierarchy of needs for peak performance in screen acting” to assist actors reach their performance potential. We cultivate 4 main areas of actors tool kit to enable them to reach peak performance: preparation, performance, mindset, and interpersonal skills.
