ACTING & STORYTELLING FOR LEGAL PROFESSIONALS
We start, based on our experience, with two psychophysical extremes common amongst lawyers.
Caselaw, statutes, regulations, redrafts of legal memoranda, briefs, pleadings, redlined contracts, etc., leave you feeling like:
That is, until you step foot onto the legal stage, and your adversary or a witness utter those “special sweet nothings,” transforming you into:

Of course, neither of these of these polar opposites is particularly desirable for your practice, not to mention your health and well-being. We will train you to better unite mind and body, so as to foster a greater sense of poise and equanimity, based upon what the renowned acting instructor Michael Chekhov coined “the Four Brothers” – “Ease, Form, Beauty and Entirety.” 

Going beyond attorney training, Legal Fictions offers a wide array of theatrically oriented services, ranging from role-play in which actors assume key roles in your mock preparations and scene studies from films and plays involving lawyers of legal themes.  We will even assist you in developing your own film or play based upon your experiences in the profession!
