“I can ride a horse”
The horse:
This is the industry
Say yes
Then panic
Happens more than you think
That gap between opportunity and ability
That’s where it gets real

Actors. Creators. Storytellers.
This one’s for you 🎬✨
This February, Rachel Kayrooz is hosting Beyond Tokenism II: The Pathway Forward at the AACTA Festival Industry Day — and I’d genuinely love you in the room.
This panel is about more than being seen.
It’s about being included, employed, trusted and embedded in our screen industry.
That means:
🎭 Disabled creatives in writers’ rooms
🎥 Disabled creatives in front of and behind the camera
🧠 Disabled creatives shaping casting, policy and creative decisions
💼 And real pathways — not side-lines or one-off moments
If you’ve ever felt like you were invited close to the industry, but not fully inside it — this conversation is for you.
🎟 Tickets are FREE (registration essential)
📅 Thu 5 Feb
📍 Gold Coast

Come along. Bring a mate.
Let’s talk honestly about the future — and how we build it together.

Meet Breanna Swan 💫
From student to leader — Breanna first joined one of my casting workshops as a Bus Stop Films ambassador. Confident, curious, and brimming with talent. But as a neurodivergent actor, the system wasn’t built for her.
That moment changed everything.
Today, Breanna isn’t just in the room — she’s helping run it.
She’s my Co-Program Director for Lights On, Queensland’s first disability-led, accessibility-first on-camera training program.
Together we’re building the pathway the industry has been missing — for actors, presenters, and performers who deserve to be seen, heard, and paid for their craft.
🎬 Lights On
• 8-week on-camera program
• Disability-led by Breanna Swan
• Professional showreels + representation pathways
• Backed by @indelarts and @apacbrisbane
• Pilot launches Feb 2026 — only 5 spots left
“Nothing about us, without us.”

🎭 Justin is BACK! 2 day Meisner Masterclass by selection only.
Last Meisner Technique workshop with Justin Lehmann was one for the books — sold-out, raved about, and transformative.
Now he’s back.
For two powerful days, Justin will take a select group of actors deep into scene work, connection, and truthful impulse — the real heart of Meisner.
💡 Smaller class. Bigger breakthroughs.
2026 intake is intentionally limited to allow more individual coaching and partner work. If you missed out last time, this is your chance.
If you were there, you already know — it’s an experience that changes the way you act forever.
🎭 Dates: JAN 2026 17TH AND 18TH .
📍 Location: APAC - Brock Studio
Brisbane City
🎟 Spots: Limited — first in, best dressed, by selection.
