Bring a story and your cosiest pair of socks. The Hollywood coaches of our Acting Studio invite Talents and members of the public to join in a truly tribal event, engaging body and mind. Through a series of exercises based on the Alexander Technique, your individual voice and story merge with those of others. You get the chance to express your thoughts and passions in the most immediate manner. As connections occur and each story is enriched by those of others, a spontaneous storytelling collective gradually emerges.
