This workshop combines maskwork, scene study, and spiritual practice to transform your approach to acting. Throughout the week, you will elevate your craft through exercises that explore the fundamental aspects of performance, including movement, physical awareness, improvisation, ensemble building, and more.

Encompass Collective hosts a five-day actor intensive. The ensemble will participate in graduate school-level actor training, including movement, voice, scene study, and self-tape. The beautiful woods at Celebration Barn provide a secluded retreat for emerging actors interested in developing their skills for embodying character and story for stage and screen.

Theater and performance makers often think of movement in terms of “5, 6, 7, 8.” This workshop invites you to explore how you move in a far more expansive sense. Using scores, prompts, and compositional experiments, we will get deep into our bodies, unlocking their potential as sources of unique, unbridled creativity.
