Make a Choice: A Masterclass for Actors

One of the biggest challenges actors face is making strong, compelling choices. But what exactly is a choice, and how do you make the right one for your scene? This masterclass is designed to help actors answer those questions with confidence. Using the renowned techniques from Michael Shurtleff’s "Audition", we’ll explore the essential tools that bring performances to life—whether in an audition room or on stage.

Through guided exercises, scene work, and interactive discussions, students will learn how to approach a script with clear, bold decisions that create dynamic, authentic performances. We’ll break down key acting principles, including how to build strong relationships, find the stakes in every scene, and uncover unexpected moments that make a performance truly stand out.

By the end of this course, students will have a deeper understanding of how to make meaningful choices and the confidence to bring their characters to life with purpose and depth.
