Alternatives to Therapy

Acting Classes

Therapy doesn’t have to be limited to sitting across from a therapist and talking through what’s bothering you. Many people find alternatives to therapy, such as yoga, writing, exercising, and hiking, to be therapeutic and help them work through their vices. Although our acting classes are not therapy, they are designed to be therapeutic in nature.

We teach individuals how to embrace their acting abilities and grow in their confidence to perform. Our classes might be a great fit for you if you’ve always wanted to learn to act but don’t want to make it a career, want to have an acting career, or already know how to act and want to be around like minded people. We also provide a cohort experience option that creates a short film for YouTube with our cohort actors.

Our focus is more on the therapeutic side of acting instead of meeting Hollywood/industry standards.

What to Know

Our classes are community/cohort-based and designed as a four-month program. However, the four-month program is for those that want to be apart of a cohort. Individuals that are apart of the Monthly Sessions are not required to participate for the full four months.

Throughout the classes, we’ll explore:

  • acting methods

  • act out short scripts

  • do warm-up practices

  • discuss our vices and virtues around acting

  • listen to feedback on acting

  • character and script breakdown

  • scene study

  • genres, emotions, and body language

Cohort Experience

Our cohort experience is a four-month program that results in the production of a short film that will be uploaded to YouTube and our Patreon. You can use this film in your acting reels. After the completion of the film, we’ll watch it together, and give feedback on the performances. Actors cannot miss more than two sessions in order to act in the short film. Learners can take this program as many times as they would like.

Monthly Sessions Experience

Each month, we’ll cover a topic from history of film and television, body language and emotions, to script and character breakdowns. There will be five (5) one-hour classes throughout the month. Classes occur three weeks out of the month. These classes are not held every month.

For example, one month of our cohort program may include five classes that teach on different topics from history, acting methods, to acting in silent films. Whereas our monthly sessions option will have five classes dedicated to one topic, such five classes on acting methods. Our Monthly Sessions offer a deeper dive into topics; while our cohort program offers a well-rounded approach.
