Description of Techniques Taught at PATStudio

» Acting techniques
Classes range from beginner to advanced and are also beneficial for people who have a passion for the theatre and the unique benefits of it's training in creativity, confidence and courage.

Our expertise is in providing training that helps the artist rid themselves of poor habits as they discover how to better connect to themselves, their creativity, and the world of the stage. This dramatically increases opportunities to work in the industry.

Acting classes are inspired by the principals of Stanislavski, Uta Hagen and Viola Spolin - Learn how to get out of your head and engage your centers of expression: imagination, intuition, body, voice and express your creativity at a level that exceeds what you've been capable of before. Learn to trust your instrument and creative capacity. Greater emotional freedom, truthful stage presence and organic physical expressiveness are the outcomes of this training.

» Playwriting techniques are centered on theory based on Stuart Spencer and Lajos Egri - Learn the foundation of all great plays - solid compelling dramatic structure. Through a spirited combination of analysis and exercises and our unique "Playwriting/Play Reading" class you'll turn those piles of loose paper in your drawer or folders in your computer file into the play that's living inside of you.
