	ZOOM: Storytelling Workshop for Solo Storytellers with Mike Alfreds Start February 3rd, 2025 \| 3 Weeks Monday & Friday \| In Berlin – Mike Alfreds is offering a workshop on storytelling based on his book Then What Happens? It will explore a range of techniques and skills for the individual performer to employ in telling stories, whether in a formal space like a theatre or one that is improvised, such as a park.

	Stella Adler Technique with Milton Justice April 14th to 26th, 2025 \| Monday to Friday – 5:30 to 8:30 pm \| In Berlin – Through her work with Stanislavsky, Stella Adler developed a definitive and now famous approach to acting, having trained such acting luminaries as Marlon Brando and Robert DiNiro. Her exercises demonstrate the accessible fundamentals of approaching a play and a screenplay. From deciphering the core idea of the text, to exploring character, action, circumstance and background, each exercise propels the actor experientially through the evolution of a part. Each class will begin with basic technique exercises. The goal is to move from general to specific. Educated imagination – informed empathy – stimulated choices. Milton Justice: As an acting teacher he has had the privilege of coaching, teaching and directing a wide range of actors including Mark Ruffalo, Margo Martindale, Sean Astin, Kyra Sedgwick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Carmack, Chris Messina, Maura Tierney, and Patrick Stewart.
