The Studio with Patricia Duran

Rigor and joy. That is the best way to describe a Hagen-based class.
This ongoing 8-week course is designed for students who have previously taken an Adult Acting Class at The Studio and are looking to continue their training in a supportive, challenging, and collaborative environment.
Students will take a deep dive into Uta Hagen’s acting exercises to strengthen their technique and ground their work in truth. Visit the link in my bio for all the class details! 💜🎭

Update: Class is now FULL. Reach out to be put in the waiting list.
Coming Up in August! This 5-week class is for the adult actor who hungers to create and grow in a safe space.

Actors of all levels will sharpen their craft by diving deep into script analysis, scene work, and character development to create an honest, multidimensional character based on the text while exploring bold physical and vocal choices. If you want to be challenged and grow out of your comfort zone as an actor, then this class is for you. 💜🎭
