John is returning to Australia for the first time since 2023 this June, to lead a series of exclusive, application-only workshops for actors and writers.
Taking place in Sydney and Melbourne, the workshops offer a rare opportunity for Australian creatives to work directly with a Hollywood professional currently developing new projects with producers behind Succession and Don’t Look Up!
The program includes:
● Scene Study Intensives for Actors
● Screenwriting Intensives for Writers
Hindman’s approach focuses on the intersection of performance and storytelling, with sessions designed to be highly practical, immersive, and demanding.
“The talent I worked with on my last tour to Australia was world class. I can’t wait to get back to the artists I met in Sydney and Melbourne”
Workshops will take place at UNSW in Sydney and at 16th St Actors Studio in Melbourne:
