The First Step name is often understood as representing a “beginners experience”, and though we welcome beginners with wide-open arms, the idea of The First Step has nothing to do with what’s on a persons resume.
The First Step refers to our approach, as people, to each and everything we do, in each moment we do it; taking our authentic first step, according to our authentic best idea of our best selves, at every turn.
“Acting Class can save the world” is quite a statement. Granted. But consider the fundamentals of acting class: courage, respect, empathy, accountability, listening, love, curiosity…and the list goes on.
In Acting Class, Artists from all walks of life, come together, to connect, share, and lean into the fundamentals of this powerful work, without ego or the need to protect, or to control the narrative.
Art imagines a world, where we are allowed to realize our authentic first step, based on our innate knowledge of our deeper selves. I am, therefore, I do.
It’s the knowledge of “I am” and the experience of “I do” and the conduit to the source of our instinctive expression that we are excited to explore in class, without judgement, and without expectation.
In Acting class, the only way to truly experience the euphoria of the amazing work, is to be truly present, to trust, and be trustworthy, and to share; to fully commit to oneself, to this moment, and to each other. To be YOU.
This is about being humans, not actors. And a key ingredient in any level of artistic fulfillment, is want; a want to learn, to grow, to experience and evolve; a want to be curious; a want to feel. Imagine this world.
We invite Artists to freely navigate the unveiling and development of their best selves, at all levels of that realization, and to freely explore their greatest and most truthful artistic expression and understanding; to welcome them to a safe space, where they can be authentic and purposeful, in gleefully choosing their own authentic first step, throughout the adventures of living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
We’re betting they will discover that they had it in them all along.
Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced; humans welcome 😊
