"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!"

"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."

"Lawrence facilitates a training environment that encourages bold behavior, care, and community. My access to happy/sad/angry has grown in ease and speed since this training (which I used to think was impossible). He absolutely knows what he's doing."

"Lawrence’s classes have been a real gift. For three hours each week, you’re immersed in a space that’s honest, challenging, and deeply creative. The teaching is passionate and fully committed — you can tell he genuinely cares about his students’ growth, and that he wants us to stretch, take risks, and do the work.
What I appreciate most is how much he puts of himself into the room. It’s not just about teaching a technique — it’s about creating a space where you can really discover something, both in the craft and in yourself. When you’re in that space, it’s safe, focused, and electric with possibility.
The other students are amazing — supportive, inspiring, and equally committed — and it’s become something of a ritual for me now: I show up each week not just to train, but to keep my passion alive.
If you’re serious about your acting and ready to grow, this is a powerful place to be. I’ve learned so much already, and I’m grateful for the work we do here."

Loz’s Meisner-based training has profoundly transformed my acting. It has opened channels to freer, more visceral emotion, sharpening my listening skills and teaching me to trust my impulses. Before this course, I doubted my ability to discern authenticity in myself and my scene partners. Now, I'm recognized as being really good at it.
The classroom Loz creates is one I deeply trust—a space where actors from all schools of thought and cross-training come together to explore through repetition and improvisation. This training has not only strengthened my emotional preparation but also deepened my understanding of authentic relationships.
I've also witnessed absolutly gorgeous moments from the other actors in this group, any of whom I'd expect to see taking up more and more space in the industry.
If you don't think Meisner is for you, I get it. It's not for everyone. But I can confirm that my acting with folks who have never touched Meisner is better than it was before. ((Also this is untraditional Meisner with scoops of practical aesthetics, Uta Hagen, etc - so there's crossover!!))

"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 an actor who might otherwise have remained blocked. To then in the next moment deliver direction to an ensemble of actor 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."
