The Run-Down.​

As actors, we know humans are complex, layered, contradictory. But casting professionals, writers, directors and producers are working within story structures. Characters are designed to serve the story — which means patterns emerge.

​

Understanding Type doesn’t put you in a box. It gives you clarity on how the industry sees your strengths, and the power to lean into it — or break out of it when you choose.

​

This workshop introduces you to Yat Malmgren’s Character Analysis — a technique that merges Jungian psychology with Laban’s movement theory. It’s one of the most practical and empowering tools actors can use to understand archetype.

​

 

What You’ll Learn.

• The four Mental and Motion Factors that signify character, and therefore build Type.

• The Six Inner Attitudes or ‘character types’ (Stable, Near, Adream, Mobile, Remote, Awake) and how they show up in auditions.

• How to identify your own Type — the patterns you naturally play and the ones you’re cast in.

• Why Type isn’t about stereotype, but about energy, choice, and story function.

• Practical strategies to spot Type clues in audition scripts so you can hit the room with precision.

• Formulas for understanding type through an analysis of your audition briefs.

• How to play to type and against type in a way that opens doors.

 

What To Expect.

This is a live, interactive session. You’ll get:

• A clear framework for exploring Type.

• Practical exercises to discover where you sit.

• A chance to watch monologues and scenes that reveal how Type serves story.

• Takeaway tools you can apply in your next audition.

You’ll also receive a mini-booklet and some practical exercises to do ahead of time to prep — so you can get the most out of the session.

 

Who It’s For.

Actors of all levels who want to:

• Make sense of the roles they’re being called in for.

• Build confidence by understanding how casting, and indeed the world, sees them as actors.

• Expand their range and break free from habitual habits.
