New to acting or ready for your next creative breakthrough? Open Frame Studios offers acting classes in Amsterdam for actors at every stage who want to grow, connect, and do meaningful work together.
Before you choose a class, take a moment.
Not every training space is the right fit, and that matters.
Here’s the kind of room we hold at Open Frame Studios
I want technique that gives me freedom, not rules to follow.
At Open Frame, technique isn’t about getting it “right.”
It’s about building tools that support your instincts, your imagination, and your ability to stay present under pressure.
We work toward clarity and choice, not formulas, so what you do on stage or on camera stays alive, responsive, and yours.
I want a room where curiosity matters more than being “good.”
This is a space where questions are welcome and exploration is valued.
We don’t reward performance about the work — we focus on the work itself.
Mistakes aren’t something to fix or hide here. They’re part of the process.
Curiosity leads. Growth follows.
I want to be challenged without being diminished.
Our work is rigorous — and it’s human.
You’ll be asked to stretch, to listen deeply, and to take risks. You’ll also be supported while you do.
We believe challenge and care belong in the same room.
You don’t need to toughen up to belong here.
I want training that shows up beyond the classroom.
The goal isn’t to be “good in class.”
The goal is to develop a process you can rely on in auditions, rehearsals, and professional environments.
We focus on transferable skills: presence, responsiveness, preparation, and trust in your work, wherever you’re asked to show up.
I want to feel like I belong while I’m learning.
Open Frame Studios is built on respect, generosity, and shared investment in the work.
You don’t have to prove yourself to earn a place in the room.
Everyone arrives where they are.
There are a few ways to begin.

Your Teaching Artist
Dustin Lewis
Founder · Acting Teacher · 30 Years Training Actors
Dustin brings 30 years of professional acting and teaching experience to Open Frame Studios. His credits span Marvel, Blumhouse, HBO, and Fox and his training draws directly from that experience working on major productions.
His approach is honest, rigorous, and practical. He teaches the Meisner technique not as theory but as a living process, the same tools he uses on set, in the room with you.
