ANTHONY W. JOHNSON
Anthony W Johnson is the creator of Ballet Magique® Productions. He is also a member of the Dramatists Guild, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, and the Society of Composers & Lyricists. Johnson's background in Dance, theatre, magic, music, and wushu is extensive. That is because he has worked in every field of dance and theatre.
"What happens when the music stops, the masks fall, and you are left standing in the mirror of your own soul?"
For nearly three decades, Anthony Wayne Johnson has redefined the boundaries of performance. As the founder of Ballet Magique, he pioneered 'Form Fusion'—a world-class blend of Wushu, magic, and dance. But his greatest challenge wasn't on a stage; it was a near-death experience that forced him to confront the 'Audience of Shadows and Ghosts' in his own life.
Audacity to Act is more than a masterclass for artists; it is a manifesto for survival. Drawing on the 'Musical DNA' of his upcoming supernatural thriller, Alexis Colette, Johnson reveals how to navigate the 'Bardo' of the creative process. He teaches you how to recognize the many masks of the ego—including the antagonist JAW—to finally step into the role you were born to play: The Director of your own destiny.
Whether you are a performer seeking excellence or a seeker looking for the 'Audacity' to live authentically, this book is your guide to growing 'old and wise, not bitter.' It is time to stop performing for the shadows and start conducting the symphony of your life.

AUDACITY TO ACT: VOLUME ONE
AN ACTOR'S TOOLBOX TOWARDS GREATNESS
by Anthony W. Johnson
What happens when the music stops, the masks fall, and you’re left with nothing but your truth? From the streets of Memphis to Hollywood soundstages, Anthony W. Johnson has lived—and risked—each lesson he shares.
Audacity to Act is a fierce, soulful roadmap for actors who refuse to settle for mediocrity. Drawing from a lifetime across theater, dance, film, opera, theme parks, cruise ships, and his own company, Ballet Magique®, Johnson distills the wisdom of Stanislavski, Strasberg, Meisner, Chekhov, Hagen, Adler, Shurtleff, and Laban—blending in mask work, animal work, Eastern philosophy, Black Drama, and industry realities. The result: a dynamic arsenal of sophistication and tools, wisdom, and inspiration—for the modern performer ready to break boundaries and ignite their craft.
Part technical manual, part memoir, Audacity to Act pulls you into the rehearsal room, onto the stage, and in front of the camera. It challenges you to interrogate your “why,” sharpen your mind, body, and voice, and treat every role as a sacred act of creation. This book confronts your excuses and dares you to become what you were meant to be.
As Johnson states, “It’s time to stop performing for the shadows and start living as a shapeshifter, prophet, and guardian of human truth. Thank you for traveling these pages—a map drawn in ink and vision, charting an ascent toward artistic greatness.”
With unflinching honesty and hard-won wisdom, Johnson invites you to move beyond simply being a “working” actor. He urges you to become a true artist—armed with craft, courage, and the audacity to act.
What makes this book truly stand out is Anthony's dedication to showcasing how these stylistic tools can empower minority voices in today's competitive landscape. Through insightful discussions on literature and history, engaging debate, role-playing, and the ongoing dialogue among stage, television, and film, the book unveils a treasure trove of often-overlooked techniques that have the potential to inject vibrancy and depth into the industry.
Audacity to Act serves as an enlightening eye-opener and a much-needed wake-up call for actors and educators alike. Anthony designed this work to inspire and elevate performers at every stage of their careers, helping them harness these powerful tools to create dynamic, impactful work and transform their artistic journey.
But that's not all! In tandem with this spectacular release, Alexis Colette has assembled a stellar core team and is gearing up to enter the preparation phase. Stay tuned for upcoming workshops and audition opportunities that promise to broaden your horizons in the world of theater and the performing Arts! Get ready for the journey of a lifetime—your performance revolution starts here!
