About This Course
Winter 2026 Schedule
Actors Weekly Workout is designed for actors with previous training and experience.
This section of Actors Weekly Workout focuses on scene study and self-tape audition technique. Actors will work on partnered scenes, cold readings, and exercises that strengthen performance technique, on-camera presence, and the ability to make an impact—leading to more callbacks and bookings. The quarter begins with a required one-day intensive based on Stanislavski principles, introducing foundational tools for developing multilayered characters, imagination, and authentic connection that set the momentum for breakthroughs and inspired performances in the weeks ahead.
Attendance at all meetings is required.
F1 visa students are welcome to participate, but this course does not count towards visa requirements.
