The ARC ACTING STUDIO is unique.

Now entering our third year of operation in 2020, the ARC Actors Studio engages in the fundamental awareness of each human being as a specific soul on a journey.  We celebrate and unlock the raw escence of each person, each actor and each being in a safe and supportive way whilst developing techniques and ways of performance that are suitable for stage, screen and new media.

Be a part of the wonderful revolution of the remaking of you.

Unlock your potential through an acting craft that has a lineage that stretches back to the great masters but also looks forward into new ways of being. 

From the later methodologies of uber wunderkind Stanislavsky, the visionary beliefs of Vakhtangov and Michael Chekhov, the ARC Acting Program at its various levels offers you the opportunity to develop your own personal craft or performance technique.

Explore the concept of 'isness': being in the now, of a presence that is both personal, playful, performative and incredibly joyous.

In 2020, The Curator's new ARC Acting Workshops offer adults the opportunity to engage in developing your personal voice, creativity, confidence and self-awareness through dynamic acting and performance workshops in a place of personal respect, adventure and self-esteem.
