About This Course

An Acting Exercise Class on Zoom

Acting is an art that asks you to dig in deep to access your truest self-expression. But, most of us learn to hide, or even lose touch with, our authentic expression. In this class, we work on exercises that develop the ability to discover and trust one’s innate self-expression. When you can fully express yourself you can play any role. A $95 monthly subscription gives you the option to participate in weekly online Zoom classes. This course focuses on the goals of Method Acting and Stanislavski teaching using Sanford Meisner’s repetition work, Lee Strasberg’s Sense Memory exercises and Viola Spolin’s theatrical improvisation work. Zoom classes are 90 minutes and include a lesson and discussion, preparation and exercise work. Thursday’s Zoom class has an additional focus on self-consciousness.

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.
