Lee Strasberg’s Method Acting Weekend Intensive

About this Workshop

What is Lee Strasberg's Method?
As a form of actor preparation, Strasberg’s method brings out the inner life of a character. Actors trained in this method use their personal experiences to inhabit characters. They are sensitive to sensory realities. They are truthful. Authentic. Present. And they are more in tune with their physical, mental, and emotional instrument.

What is the Weekend Intensive about?
Immerse yourself in the true Lee Strasberg Method—taught with the depth, authenticity, and rigour it deserves. This exclusive weekend workshop provides actors, creatives, and professionals with unparalleled access to the same tools that shaped icons like Scarlett Johansson, Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie, Marilyn Monroe, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro and James Dean.

Whether you’re a seasoned performer, an aspiring artist, or a professional seeking emotional intelligence and confidence, this workshop offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the transformative methodology behind some of the most unforgettable performances in modern cinema.
