At Elemental Actors Studio, we aim to empower performers by pushing past the dogma and providing a practical and pragmatic approach to acting.  

Ongoing classes provide a challenging and supportive environment for actors of all backgrounds and experience levels to get out of their head and into the moment. 

Private coaching sessions are available for personalized guidance, to refine techniques, and to prepare for specific roles or auditions. 

Our workshops are curated to provide a platform for actors to explore different aspects of their craft and as well as learn valuable insights related to professional development. These workshops are also available and customizable for groups and institutions. 

As a member, you'll have access to an impressive array of services tailored to your acting needs. These services include discounted headshots, Qigong and meditation classes, and reel, resume, and materials review, all at discounted rates exclusive to members.

The Approach

Acting is more than "booking the job", "nailing the audition", or "becoming a star". It's an opportunity to open eyes and change hearts... including our own.

​

Actors are storytellers, and with that comes the responsibility of being informed and  committed to creating grounded authentic representations of the human experience.

 

At Elemental Actors Studio, our mission is to empower performers by pushing past the dogma and providing a pragmatic approach to acting. 

​

The actor's journey isn't for the faint of heart but with the right mindset, skillset, and community becoming a professional artist is possible.
