Acting is a Muscle. You Need to Go to the Gym.
Our weekly class acts as a high-intensity "gym workout" for your instrument. We move through active relaxation and sensory exercises designed to remove mental tension and unlock truthful behavior. This rigor ensures that when you finally approach scene work, you are doing so with a fully tuned instrument, ready to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
Train Directly Under Peter Kalos
As the trust deepens, Peter acts as a mirror for your process. He can identify the subtle patterns and blocks that limit your range. This long-term approach means your development is tracked and nurtured, allowing for specific technical problems to be diagnosed and corrected consistently over time.
The Authentic Strasberg Format
Each class follows the specific format developed by Lee Strasberg at the Actors
Studio, New York. The process is fluid and precise
Active Relaxation
Every class begins here. Before you can create, you must destroy the tension that blocks you. We guide you through a specific process to strip away the physical and mental stress of the day. A tense actor is a blocked actor; this essential step clears the slate, ensuring your instrument is loose, vulnerable, and ready to receive stimuli.
Sensory Exercise
This is the heartbeat of the Method. We train your five senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—to respond truthfully to imaginary stimuli. Just as a musician practices scales, you practice "sense memory" to build a reservoir of experiences. This training allows you to produce authentic, organic emotion on cue, rather than just "faking" a feeling.
Scene & Character Work
Finally, we apply the training to text. The goal here is not a "polished product" but deep exploration. We use character work to build complex, believable human beings, and scene work to test your ability to stay truthful under imaginary circumstances. This is where the training integrates, allowing you to live truthfully in the moment.
