About our Studio

About your training
Our studio works with the technique of training known as the Method. The Method is
designed to open and encourage the awareness of its students to the performing arts
as an understanding of human behavior. Training in the Method is a guarantee for
confidence,stability and a professional approach during the process of performance.
About your on-stage and on-camera experience
Our training is production based: you will design, stage and perform in six theatre productions, and author, act in or shoot a short film. As well as the theoretical guidance
you will receive in completing your projects, the Studio offers technical equipment of an

Young actors, fear your admirers! Learn in time, from your first steps, to
hear, understand and love the cruel truth about yourselves. Find out who
can tell you that truth and talk of your art only with those who can tell you
the truth.
