Acting Classes in Paris
Our Essence
In the heart of Paris with a conservatory approach our company prepares actresses and actors for film and theatre. We pride ourselves with a collaborative ensemble approach.
We are a small company of no more than 40 actors, 2 teachers and 1 guest teacher. This intimacy provides care and security, empowering and enabling our students to grow and develop.
We offer a comprehensive training which includes character development, script analysis, acting on camera technique, relaxation, voice and body work. We devise and create our own performance pieces throughout the year. We have created a repertory feel, and have emerged as the bilingual home for English speaking actors in Paris.
Our Classes
The three main classes offer the methodological techniques from Strasberg, Adler, Hagen, Stanislavski, Meisner, and Yat Malmgren. We also include specialist instructors throughout the year to work on voice and body. The three main classes provide 10.5 hours of intensive and rigorous training per week and this is inevitably extended due to rehearsal exercise.
Upon completion of one year with the Acting Ensemble, you will receive a certificate. Upon completion of two years or more with the Acting Ensemble, you will receive a diploma and with it can apply to Spotlight.
Please note that as a private institution, both the certificate and diploma are not recognized by the Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles (RNCP).
If you have a passion for acting, furthering your professional training or preparing for auditions into leading drama schools, our classes are for you.
Our Productions
Every year, the Acting Ensemble is committed to performing before a live audience at least one full production of a play or devised piece.
