in LA!!!
The ActTrue
Los Angeles Workshop in Ojai, CA, was a great success with
22 actors and educators discovering the power of Actions and
the clarity of the Hagen Process. The beautiful Matilija Campus/Ojai
was our home for two days as we investigated the connection
'tween Imagery and Action through Spolin Improvs, Camera Audition
Tech and the proven professional technique of the Hagen Process.

testing the Truth of Action vs. Feelings.

"Thank
you so much for flying across the country to teach us
young students who have a dream in performing arts.
I learned so much from your teaching in two days. Because
of you I now know what to expect from the real world
and professionals, like yourself, in performing arts
and music. Since the workshop, I have been keeping an
open mind full of images and ideas to improve my skills
in speaking and confidence. Now, if there is an audition,
instead of having second thoughts, I will go for it...thank
you for taking the time in teaching the methods of the
legendary Uta Hagen."

| ActTrue
is very proud and privileged to share our work with new generations
of actors. It is an honor to pass on the teachings of our Master
Teachers Uta Hagen and Charles Nelson Reilly. Their life's work
lives on in Imagery in Action, in the discovery and passion
of each actor searching for the Truth in each moment, the power
in each action they take, each audience they touch through their
unique creativity. |
