What should I prepare?

Bring in a character you're currently working on or have worked on in the past. If you can work on a monologue or a hearty chunk of text, bring it in!

Comfortable clothing and I recommend layers as sometimes the theatre can get cold.

3 Workshops - Working in Tandem,

Designed to offer the Actor a Comprehensive Experience

Relaxation & Sensory Work - The Fundamentals of Lee Strasberg's “The Method”. You will learn how to command your instrument through guided exploratory exercises, releasing yourself from tension, cultivating mindfulness, and strengthening your imagination with your senses.

Movement - Movement for the Actor activates and releases tension from those same areas as when we practice our standard relaxation exercise. We will be on our feet as we explore our 7 Chakra points through a fun movement activation leaving the actor present, balanced and ready to explore. After we practice the movement work, we will explore what it’s like to “drop-in” as we apply our Relaxation & Sensory Practices to the worlds of our characters.

Monologue - Throughout the Workshop Series; Actors will work with their assigned or chosen monologues as they discover how to apply the technique to their piece of text. On the days where it says “Monologues” we will do a full drop in including Relaxation & Sensory Work followed by individual monologue work.

Packages of 2 or more at $50 per workshop

Single Workshop $60

Elizabeth Carlsen - Astoria Acting Workshop

"Astoria is a neighborhood many actors and artists call home, yet there's a limited Quality of Adult Acting Classes being offered, ultimately leading to the creation of Astoria Acting Workshop.

I wanted to use my Training and Mastery to help my fellow artists living in the neighborhood, making it a more convenient and accessible way to receive quality training. When I say quality, I'm talking about classes that teach actual technique.

Acting classes are like a gym; it's a place you go to learn, practice and exercise. We especially need acting classes between gigs so that we can keep working on our craft and be ready for when that call comes in. If we don't use it, we lose it.

Spend your time and money on a class that will actually help you grow as an artist. It's not just about performing a scene for our friends and family, it's about becoming a better actor. Here at Astoria Acting Workshop, I can Teach You how". - Elizabeth
