Actorium Training Centre

I find Actorium provides such valuable, necessary and unique approaches to acting. The exercises and teaching really work to develop an ability to bring presence and authenticity to a role. It's had such a positive impact on my personal day to day life as well.
You'll also learn how to intelligently break down scripts in such a way that brings out the most in characters and story.
It's a supportive and welcoming atmosphere, so if you're curious about exploring the craft and technique of acting or someone who struggles with personal expression and shyness, this place is worthwhile.

I love Actorium! I am so grateful for the supportive and loving community of teachers and students at Actorium.

The classes are designed in a way that one is able to continually develop and grow their skills. My training in The Foundations, Scene Study, Role Immersion and Improv programs has greatly contributed to my growth as an actor and as an individual.

The training has changed my life by deepening my ability to be present and allowing me greater access to all parts of myself.

I highly recommend trying out a class. Even for non-actors there is great value, benefit and self-growth to be discovered by attending.

Actorium is a school like no other. If you're looking for the backbone of your acting technique instead of the surface frills, start here. After several years over many different classes at Actorium, I can say I'm a totally different actor than I started. What's most interesting, and helpful, about Actorium is the classes are never cookie cutter, and students are encouraged to play with a wide variety of techniques to create a well-rounded performance. Everyone is given an equal and incredible amount of individual attention I've never experienced anywhere else. You really get what you pay for and then some.

I love this little acting studio. Michelle works relentlessly on openness and vulnerability using Meisner and Stanislavsky, a rare class to find in Vancouver. Not preoccupied with aesthetics, pretending, nailing auditions, looking good for cameras, etc. it's about finding something real and alive in yourself, and challenging yourself to be exposed, vulnerable and sincere in your work. It takes time and practise but it's the best way I've found to work.

For the first time, since joining Actorium, I feel like I can truly embody different people. The authenticity that myself and my classmates have reached is touching and motivating and I am truly grateful for these classes.

A word of warning; If you don't want to work on yourself, better who you are and better your life, then this is not the place for you. It's hard work but if you are open and ready, it is so worth it.
