Collective Intent:
Actor Training and Production for the future of storytelling
Bridging classical performance, motion capture technology, and interactive storytelling.

Live is the last scarce resource.
AI can already generate a good-enough performance for most consumers. It won't be long until the majority of scripted screen content is synthesised. What it cannot do is be alive in a room with you - unpredictable, embodied, responsive to this moment and no other.
Collective Intent is the home of two connected pursuits:
GAP Training: A psychophysical acting technique developed over 15 years that closes the gap between impulse and action, helping performers get out of their heads and into the work. Classes run in Toronto for actors at all levels.
RAID (Real-Time Animated Interactive Drama): A live performance format that puts professional actors inside real-time game engines, creating interactive experiences where audiences shape the story as it happens. Currently in development with working prototypes demonstrated at Game On Montreal and accepted for presentation at AWE USA 2026.
Both come from the same conviction: that the future belongs to live, embodied, unrepeatable human experience - performances that raise the hairs on your arms, provoke unbidden tears, and leave an audience with a memory of something that happened only once, together.
Let's be surprising. Let's play - in the now, and the now, and the now.
““I came away feeling like a more connected artist. It allows me to better understand the emotional landscape of my character so I can more easily embody them. I highly recommend Pascal’s classes. He’s an encouraging and empathetic teacher who is capable of nudging students to deeper performances. I look forward to his next class..””
“I Landed a role by psyh-physing my way into a state that the director felt. A Huge success for me and an eye opener I treasure in my working (acting) life. GAP technique for the win!”
