ABOUT
Our Actor's Workouts are spaces to workout and try out new approaches for actors in their numerous skills.
Peers help peers with supportive feedback and create the opportunity we need to perform in front of an audience to work our magic.
​
Currently we're offering the focuses:

Future focuses could include: poetry, improvisation, Shakespeare, camera acting, self-taping, accent training, song clinic…
We’re aiming to offer multiple focuses per week step by step on different times during the day.
