Acting Archetypes Class
Class Description
This 6-week Acting class applies Michael Chekhov’s psychophysical acting technique and self-awareness exercises to finding the archetype that has perhaps been influencing you unconsciously all along. Actors first perform a monologue expressing their god/dess's negative aspects, and the class culminates with a second monologue showcasing his/her bright side. This process transforms the archetype's weight into a golden gift for you and for the world.

This Hybrid Class meets both In Person and Virtually on Wednesdays beginning on November 6th. The cost for the class is $300. For questions please email innercompassproductions@gmail.com
