Inspire Actors offer dynamic acting classes that places a special emphasis on the power of intention.  We believe that acting is more than just reciting lines; it’s about truly understanding intention, to create authentic and captivating performances. By honing their ability to understand and convey intention, actors develop a compelling presence on screen, capturing the hearts and minds of their audience.

Their scripted and improvisational techniques challenge students to be fully present and connected in their performances. We create a supportive and collaborative environment where actors can take risks, experiment, and explore their artistic instincts with intention as their guiding compass.
