Under pressure - Foundations of Performance
About
Most actors jump straight into scenes and auditions without ever strengthening the fundamentals that make great performances repeatable. This workshop changes that.Under Pressure is a 6-week acting intensive designed to sharpen your instrument from the ground up, so when the opportunity arrives, you’re ready.
Each week builds on the last, stripping performance back to its foundations and rebuilding it with intention:
Week 1 — Awakening Presence
Listening, awareness, connection, impulse. Getting out of your head and into the room.
Week 2 — Embodying Character
Movement, archetypes, animal work, and physical storytelling. Finding character through the body.
Week 3 — Unlocking Voice
Breath, resonance, and vocal freedom. Connecting sound to body and story.
Week 4 — Interpreting Text
Script analysis, actions, and intention. Learning the rules so you can break them.
Week 5 — Freedom in Performance
Improvisation, spontaneity, and applying everything you’ve built.
Week 6 — Performance
Your final monologue, filmed with live direction.
What to bring: a notebook, water, and a sense of play.
What you’ll leave with: a filmed monologue, a sharper instrument, and a process you can carry into every audition, rehearsal, and role that comes your way.
This workshop is for actors who are tired of feeling stuck in their heads, inconsistent in their work, or underprepared when it counts.
Train now.
