Thank you for such a wonderful min-course! I learned so much about immersing myself into an experience and feeling whatever emotions I have at the moment instead of pushing them away. The information taught was incredibly valuable and I will bring it along during my whole career. Thank you again!

This part of the course made me realize how important it is to listen to my self and to capitalize from my thoughts. I want to continue to grow with Actorium.

This short class has enough content to make you want to know more. What I truly appreciated is that it dives into th core of acting, it's essence. They put a lot of emphasis on how you feel when you perform, which I appreciated. There are also exercises to put it into practice, which helped retain what was taught.

It felt freeing

I never thought my face could display such emotions as I have always been called poker face by my peers and people I know for as long as I can remember

Instructor

Founder and Instructor Michelle Meyrink

I founded Actorium with the purpose of creating an environment where people can discover and immerse themselves in the art of acting; a place to grow and develop creatively through this beautiful, fun, interesting, and life-changing art form. I think of Actorium as a place for people to inspire and to get inspired and grow, not only as an actor but personally – as I think the two go together. It is not only an actor’s training centre but also a community with a strong culture for daring authenticity, humour, warmth, and openness. What I have learned through acting and have used as a core principle of Actorium is to never lose sight of the truthful basis of your art and the reason you started in the first place.
