The acting courses I teach bring together people of different ages, backgrounds, and professions. Some dream of pursuing acting professionally, while others simply wish to experience the creative process for themselves. What unites them is a genuine desire to discover the art of acting from the inside.

From the very first class, through a series of playful concentration exercises, the group begins to develop into a true ensemble. These exercises are engaging, enjoyable, and often surprisingly liberating. Participants quickly discover that acting is not about pretending, but about becoming more present, attentive, and alive in the moment.

Over the course of five weeks, we work on a variety of improvisations designed to unlock imagination and encourage creative freedom. One of the most rewarding moments comes when students present their own original improvisations. Together we observe, discuss, and analyze the work, creating an environment where everyone learns from one another.

I work individually with every participant, helping each person develop at their own pace. This personal attention creates trust, confidence, and a willingness to take creative risks. Exercises involving imagination, the five senses, observation, and perception often become some of the students’ favorite experiences.

As a teacher, my greatest reward comes at the end of each class when I see students leaving inspired and energized. Many return for a second course, and some even for a third. Their enthusiasm reminds me why I love teaching.

You can explore some of our students’ improvisations and hear their experiences on the Instagram page of Eva Volitzer Actor’s Studio.

In the acting classes I teach, there are students who do not know each other. However. within an hour, they get closer working together on various interesting exercises and games for developing their attention and concentration. They also participate in practices for imagination, perception and observation, interaction with a partner, etc.

In the current Fundamentals of Acting class, October/November 2024, students of a wide variety of ages are trained. The oldest participant is 65 years old, and the youngest one is 18 years old. At first glance, this seems odd, but in fact it is not. The attendants are united by the interest in acting and acting training.

The exercises and theater games bring the participants together. They not only have a lot of fun, but also learn the basic elements of acting technique.

Two of the participants in this class are actors! Many actors who perform on the professional stage return to acting training classes to refresh their skills. It was the same in the previous class, when I worked with a professional actress as well.
In addition to actors in acting classes, there are also people with different professions united by the desire to learn more about theater and acting skills.

It is a joy and satisfaction for me to teach acting training.
Actor training promotes the development of personal qualities.
