"Carmichael's approach shows Intelligence and deep understanding for the Subject matter"
Broadway World Nomination - Best Director
Max Harrison
Lawrence is an incredible intimacy, fight, and movement facilitator.
He brings a playful, yet incredibly deep and rigorous energy to the room. As a trained actor himself, he instinctively understands how to speak to actors and directors. He is also totally adaptable to the needs of the production, and the rehearsal process. I am happy to have worked with him several times, professionally and with actors in training, and would absolutely do so again!

What Lawrence Carmichael brings to any creative room is rare. Having such an expansive skill set puts Lawrence in a truly unique position. I’ve witnessed Lawrence delicately coax an eloquent performance out of a actor who might otherwise have remained blocked. To then in the next moment deliver direction to an ensemble of actors requiring intricate fight and physical coordination. It is not only Lawrence’s abilities which are rare but also his approach at expressing them. A natural charisma makes working with Lawrence a pleasure. You are going to learn something while in the same room as him no matter how experienced you are.
Capturing the influence of Lawrence Carmichael is challenging, as his impact on myself and other artists transcends words. In both the personal and professional realms, Lawrence's presence radiates a supreme level of expertise, fuelling the creative process for actors and directors alike. He is an indispensable part of our industry in both production and training environments whether that be as an actor, director, trainer, fight coordinator or intimacy director.
What sets Lawrence apart is not just his knowledge, but his innate ability to bring the best out of those around him. I've witnessed firsthand his talent for facilitating creative processes, striking the perfect balance between encouragement, firm guidance and empathetic support.
Inadvertently, he has had a profound impact on my practice and the development of my craft.
