Great actors never stop learning.
The Technique Lab is an ongoing professional development series for actors. Each instalment explores a different acting methodology or performance philosophy developed by some of the industry's most influential teachers, actors, directors, coaches, and practitioners. Actors are encouraged to return throughout the year as we investigate and apply techniques from some of the world's most influential acting practitioners.
Our current instalment explores the practical application of David Rotenberg's acclaimed book, ACT.
Unlike traditional acting book studies, this workshop is not about discussing theory—it's about putting theory into practice.
Each two-session intensive explores carefully selected acting principles from ACT. Together, we'll investigate the technique, understand why it works, and then apply it directly to professionally written scenes—line by line, beat by beat, and moment by moment—to discover how it transforms a performance.
Each Technique Lab is designed to help you:
Understand one specific acting technique in depth.
Learn why and when the technique is used.
Apply the technique directly to scripted scenes.
Strengthen your script analysis skills.
Make more specific, truthful acting choices.
Discover practical tools you can immediately use in auditions and professional work.
Receive personalized coaching and instructor feedback throughout the process.
This is not a lecture.
This is not a book club.
This is a working laboratory.
Every session is built around doing.
Working from professionally written scenes, you'll explore the featured technique through guided exercises, instructor demonstrations, scene study, and performance coaching. Every concept is immediately applied to text, allowing you to experience how powerful acting techniques function in real performances—not simply as ideas on the page.
The Technique Lab is designed as an ongoing journey through some of the world's most influential acting methodologies. As new installments are released throughout the year, actors are invited to return, continue training, and explore new approaches to the craft.
Don't miss the next instalment.
