“I absolutely loved this workshop!” | “I would recommend this to any of my friends who are actors, musicians, dancers or any other kind of performer because it will sharpen and refine their sense of movement and awareness of their body in performance. It’s extremely helpful for a performer who is looking to have better use of her entire body in performance and who wants to be able to incorporate movement and style into her performances with precision and awareness.”
— Erica Pastore, Actor
“It was a perfect workshop . . . .” | “Genuinely all of it will help me!” | “I really enjoy the way it is instructed. It is very positive and helpful. Not once did anyone feel pointed out or less talented than others. It was a great vibe and wonderful atmosphere . . . .”
— Alan Maxson, Actor
“Lorin is a great teacher. You can feel that he is really passionate about this art form and that he truly cares about his students learning it. I feel like I’m in the best hands learning from him . . . .”
— Dante Spencer, Actor/Improviser/Clown
“It will change your approach to acting.”
— Caleb Mann, Actor
“Really going to help my physical presence on stage and on camera.” | “You’re going to learn a lot. Lorin is a great instructor, I’m amazed how much he covered without making me feel overloaded on information. . . . I left class with things to practice and work on, as well as pockets full of gems that I could use immediately in my acting.”
— Brian Berg, Actor/Musician
“I thought it was going to be more [of a] skit class where people wear white makeup and stripes . . . instead I learned about a whole different art form, the background on why certain characters resonate throughout history, how to better develop characters through movement, and a really thorough insight into importance of storytelling to make a memorable performance, e.g. what the difference is between ‘mime’ and ‘charades.’ At some level I knew that it would be about using imagination for performance but I was blown away at the depth at [how] my skills in that area were challenged and increased in such a short amount of time.”
— Virginia Hankins
“I love expressive, emotional movement, and I didn’t expect the exercises to be so extremely artful.” | “It was so fun and interesting but also meaningful and inspiring.”
— Jessica R., Vocalist
