Rebel-Actor, today we have a very special guest, creator extraordinaire and all around inspiring human be-ing, André Vauthey! And we almost broke the internet. 3 times.    André Vauthey is a doctor-turned-actor/theater director, who was born and raised in Switzerland before moving to New York City, where he had his debut off-broadway as the lead in The Way We Get By, which then toured in Italy. As his most recent credits, he played among others the lead role of Treplev in The Nina Variations, the lead in a German adaptation of A Midsummernight’s Dream in Frankfurt.   Back in Switzerland, André played in the latest swiss show: Frieden. As a theater director, André graduated from the Barrow Group Directing School in NYC and went on directing and producing many plays off-broadway. In his spare time, André is a yoga and meditation teacher, a mountain lover and an impact coach. www.andrevauthey.com   When André didn’t find the liberty of self-expression as a doctor, he found himself pursuing his unspoken childhood dream: acting. From artistic voyages to London, NYC, and back to Switzerland, André has been in search of his divine truth, and commits daily to his intuition to lead him to the most transcendental experiences, onstage, onscreen and off.    Buckle-up Rebel-Actor! You will learn:   What it really means if you’re afraid of something  Why André compares tasting theatre to tasting chocolate for the first time How André only planned to study 1 year in NYC but ended up staying for all 4 years How André first acted from the head up, then slowly dropped into body Why working for an artist visa made André so uncomfortable  Why the more work André did, the more humble he felt before the art & profession  Why André at first hated yoga How Covid taught André that you can have heartbreak and gratitude at the same time Why you don’t have to wait for pain to end to experience happiness Why it’s one thing to connect to your intuition & another thing to hear it and follow it Why acting in and learning different languages is like dating  How to make room for magic to come into your life!   And SO much more.
