Starting June 7, the Ardavany Approach will be offering a weekly class at our new Hollywood location. Classes are designed for students to master their relationship with the camera. Class modules consist of scene study, cold reading, character development, and mastering the art of auditioning. Class sessions blend interactive exercises that encourage curiosity and imagination with conscious breathing techniques that allow one to enter into the gateway of personal authenticity. Simply and effectively, The Approach teaches the actor to deeply understand his or her history and character by unveiling his personal truth and archetypal journey. With these tools, the actor can proceed with purposeful dimension into future storylines.

The studio is in the heart of Hollywood. The address is 646 Beachwood Dr. Across from Paramount Studios on Melrose.

Workshops

Venice Beach Studio

Workshops provide a foundation for beginners, an opportunity for in-depth exploration for the intermediate or advanced actor, and can also be used as a “stand alone” workshop for those not pursuing entertainment careers. We have had many “artists” (teachers, yoga instructors, life coaches, etc.) achieve major breakthroughs for themselves just by attending the Saturday course alone and many of these people are able to immediately implement what they learn into their careers. Though “THE APPROACH” is more tailored to the on-camera creator, we certainly invite anyone else who believes “THE APPROACH” can assist them in their daily lives.All Day Intensive Workshop $100.00

Workshops are held in Venice, San Diego, or other locations on select Saturdays of each month
