About this event
Welcome to The Alchemy of Performance
Performance is alchemy. It transforms will into action, emotion into meaning, thought into imagination, and body into presence. At Threshold Acting Studio in Hollywood, we train actors to harness the raw elements of their craft and fuse them into specific, powerful and truthful performances.
This 7-week foundation course blends classical acting tools (given circumstances, objectives, beats, tactics, obstacles, truth and presence) with Threshold Acting Studio’s 7 principles of performance. Together, they form a unique and complete training journey that strengthens your instrument and deepens your artistry. Developed and led by Christian Martin, a classically trained actor and experienced teacher, mentored by the likes of Larry Moss and Mark Rylance.
