Acting Program Part II with Matthias Schott
5 days acting intensive program
Designed for those who have completed my three-week training program, finished my foundational workshop and gained additional experience elsewhere, or for all actors with extensive pre-acting background or professional experience.
The program combines continuous acting training with opportunities to develop original work, creating a supportive environment for performing self-written or pre-developed scenes alongside fellow actors.
What can you expect?
- Movement and Sense Work: We’ll begin with exercises that incorporate movement and sensory awareness. This includes various physical transformation techniques, such as animal work, Laban movement, and other methods to deepen your physical expressiveness.
- Performance Skills and Scene Development: Through targeted acting exercises and training, you’ll refine your performance abilities and generate ideas for scenes and scripts. By integrating emotional and sensory preparation, you’ll explore characters’ conflicts, needs, longings, and struggles—drawing from your experiences to deepen your understanding of character arcs and human connection.
- Theoretical Insights and Workshop Discussions: Engage in discussions on script analysis, including guidelines for reading and interpreting scenes. Learn to identify beats and actions, understand how themes influence each scene, and explore creative decisions related to titles and structure.
- Scene Work and Character Exploration: Practice with dramatic scenes, monologues from renowned writers, or develop your own scenes. You’ll have opportunities to perform, collaborate with others, or step into your written material and character’s shoes to understand their interactions and emotional landscape. I will also include 10-15 character exploration exercises that I learned while working closely with Susan Batson and Dee Cannon and a few Stella Adler teachers.

“Matthias is a phenomenal acting coach. I always come back to his teachings, whether it be preparing for theatre or film. Matthias has an engaging, attentive and intuitive teaching style that nurtures each student’s journey. He identifies potential blocks and offers the tools to work through them in order to understand where you need to go to reach a level of higher awareness and understanding as an actor. He breaks down the multifaceted process through a vast variety of exercises which makes the task at hand tangible and approachable, no matter where you are in your acting journey. Matthias’ workshops make up both individual and group exercises that shape and form each student and attune to each individual level. Matthias has guided me from a fundamental level to individual scene- and character work or auditions for schools and jobs. There is a wisdom and deep sense of humanity in the way he approaches each character or scene, teaching us to challenge our understanding of the human experience, be conscious and present in our acting choices, never judge our experience or understanding of the character, but be curious, free and creative.” – Nina Mariko Sandquist (Gangs of Oslo – Blodsbrødre)
