Step into the craft with Anatomy of a Scene — an intensive 11-day acting workshop designed to help actors break down and embody scenes with honesty, precision, and presence. Whether you're preparing for the screen or the stage, this workshop is about finding truth in performance and shedding the "act" from acting.

Rooted in the methods of Sanford Meisner and Uta Hagen, the training focuses on:

Active listening & moment-to-moment awareness

Emotional truth & authentic connection

Character exploration using Hagen’s Nine Questions

Improvisation & sense memory

Deep-dive rehearsals leading to a professionally shot final scene

From day one, actors are immersed in exercises that strip away performance habits and awaken the raw, instinctive self. Each participant works intensively on a selected scene with one-on-one guidance from Manas throughout.

The workshop culminates in an on-camera shoot of the final scene, offering a tangible takeaway and real-time learning experience.

Why This Workshop?
