What's Inside?

Each lesson is a combination of science, technique, mindset, and call-to-action implementation that you can start exploring immediately. Whether you are diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, or work with an actor who does, you will walk away with new perspective, strategy, and vigor.

The Moment Before (Hyperfocus and Flow)

Science: Hyperfocus is the ADHD brain’s version of “flow,” when dopamine and norepinephrine surge to create deep, sustained attention.

Acting: You’ll learn how to channel hyperfocus toward your partner and circumstance using The Moment Before and Ideal Expectation, turning fixation into responsiveness.

Rejection As a Tool

Science: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a neurological response that floods the body with cortisol and adrenaline, magnifying perceived criticism.

Acting: We’ll use that same wiring to build emotional stakes — transforming RSD into fuel for genuine vulnerability and surprise, guided by Expectation vs. Objectiveand Chekhov’s Psychological Gesture.

Impulsivity as Fuel

Science: The ADHD brain often shows lower activity in the prefrontal cortex (inhibitory control) and faster dopamine reward cycles, making us act before we think.

Acting: You’ll reframe impulsivity as immediacy, using Viewpoints and Laban to translate spontaneous impulses into playable, physical choices that keep performances alive and unpredictable.

Nonlinear Thinking

Science: The ADHD brain’s default-mode network stays active even during tasks, blending imagination, memory, and association — leading to nonlinear thought patterns.

Acting: Instead of fighting that, we’ll use it. Through Harold Guskin’s “Stop Acting”approach, you’ll learn to let your natural mental leaps become authentic rhythm and real human thinking on camera.

The Gift of Forgetting

Science: ADHD involves weaker working memory — the brain’s short-term holding space — but this same trait allows rapid emotional resets.

Acting: We’ll turn that quick forgetting into an asset, using Meisner-inspired repetition to rediscover each take instead of reproducing it, keeping every moment spontaneous.

Dopamine-Driven Prep

Science: Dopamine motivates through anticipation, not achievement. ADHD brains crave novelty and resist predictable reward systems.

Acting: You’ll design your prep around curiosity-driven discovery instead of rigid order — using Dopamine Mapping to make preparation feel like exploration, not discipline.

Permission to Move

Science: Movement increases dopamine and norepinephrine, activating the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex — improving attention, working memory, and emotional regulation.

Acting: Through Laban’s Action Drives, you’ll learn to let the body lead so the brain follows, transforming restless energy into clarity and physical storytelling.

The Art of Recovery

Science: Dopamine depletion after hyperfocus mimics depression and lethargy — the brain temporarily drops below baseline.

Acting: You’ll learn the neuroscience of burnout and recovery, discovering how small, science-backed resets (like movement, sunlight, or sensory grounding) restore motivation and emotional access.

Integration & Implementation

Science: Sustained motivation relies on dopamine feedback loops — cues, actions, and rewards that reinforce curiosity.

Acting: You’ll build a personal creative system designed around momentum and recovery, turning curiosity into a sustainable habit instead of a short burst of hyperfocus.

Self-Compassion & Longevity

Science: Self-compassion lowers cortisol, increases heart-rate variability, and strengthens emotional regulation — key for ADHD resilience.

Acting: You’ll learn how recovery, rest, and compassion protect creativity long-term, creating a nervous system that can stay engaged, responsive, and artistically alive.
