WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US

“I really think the vision, and what we formulate our classes from, is process before product. I really wanted kids to learn all the responsibilities of an actor, so we don't just get in there and learn our lines and sing our song, there's so much more technicalities, tools that they can use, and an idea for them to also create their own process. One of the things I do in the consults is ask them why they love acting, and not one of them has been like, "I want to be famous, I want to be this." They all have a really deep attachment to empathy and trying to understand characters, and to their imagination, which I wanted to harp on.”
