UPCOMING CYCLES:

JANUARY: ARE YOU REALLY SPEAKING? 

Reset. Reconnect. Rebuild. This month explores how the voice and body are the physical basis of truth. Building on foundational vocal elements, we layer in Meisner-based repetition and text exercises to unlock authentic, embodied performances where impulse leads and intellect follows.

Class Line-Up:

• Are You Really Speaking?: Connect voice to body using Meisner basics. Eliminate breathy habits, build grounded impulse, and speak with presence and truth.
• Release the Text: By releasing the text, actors discover what remains: instinct, contact, and unfiltered response. Where does that begin? With the voice.
• Scene & Monologue Workshop: Apply the work. Perform and bring an activity for your scene. Receive feedback, and integrate voice, body, and emotional connection.

FEBRUARY: GET WHAT YOU WANT

This month we are going “outside-in,” aka leaving the mental plane and entering physical territory that unlocks the voice. Through tactic work, Chekov’s radiation and psychological gestures, and Laban-based release, we open the body as the conduit for emotion. You’ll learn to let the body lead, the emotions move through, and the voice follow—creating performances rooted in embodied action.

Class Line-Up:

• Get What you want: Work with action verbs and dynamic vocal choices to pursue objectives and shift the story.
• Physical Gesture, Emotional Charge: Discover how Chekhov’s radiation and psychological gestures emotionally charge your body before you even open your mouth.
• Laban Scene & Monologue Workshop: Apply the Laban’s Effort Actions to your performance piece. Receive feedback, and integrate voice, body, and emotional connection.
