Are you curious about acting but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to step into someone else’s shoes and feel what it’s like to perform truthfully in front of others?
This workshop is for you.
Over the course of 12 dynamic, hands-on sessions, you’ll learn the foundations of method acting—a powerful technique that helps you connect deeply with your emotions, memories, and instincts. We’ll begin by exploring how to build a character from within, using real experiences and imaginative exercises. Then, we’ll move into the world of improvisation, where scenes are created in the moment, shaped by intention, energy, and authenticity.
Together, we’ll take the best of those improvised moments and develop them into a unique, original social comedy, fully rehearsed, but unscripted. You’ll be part of a collaborative creative process where characters emerge organically, and storytelling is grounded in realism, humor, and humanity.
In the final session, we take our creation to the public with a live performance in without sets, or microphones. Just presence, voice, and connection with the audience.
No prior acting experience is needed, just curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to play.
A certificate of completion will be granted after the last session is completed.
