THE BREAKDOWN
- Special 2026 Introductory Pricing
2 week class | Open to all
The Breakdown is the anchor program within Open Access — a two-week foundational acting class built around the Dirty Dozen process.
This class gives actors a practical, repeatable way into the work by focusing on the actor’s full instrument: warm-up, vocalization, breath, relaxation, meditation, memorization, and the ability to feel free, present, and prepared before stepping into the scene.
From there, actors begin applying that preparation to script analysis, scene study, text work, and playable choices. Instead of guessing how to begin, actors learn how to break down a scene, ask stronger questions, connect personally to the material, and build a clear path from the page into performance.
The Breakdown is ideal for actors who want a more grounded process, whether they are new to acting, returning to training, or looking for stronger tools to support auditions, rehearsals, and scene work.
It is a focused, supportive space for actors to slow down, get specific, and learn how to make the work active, personal, embodied, and playable.
Ongoing on-Camera
Training - All Levels
- Special 2026 Introductory Pricing
4-week monthly cycles | meeting once per week.
The Ongoing On-Camera class is designed for actors who want consistent practice, continued coaching, and a place to keep working their on-camera craft month after month.
For now, the class is open to actors at different levels of experience. Much like our On-Camera Labs, the work will be adapted to the actors in the room, with individual coaching based on where each actor is in their training.
As the Open Frame Studios community grows, the ongoing program will expand into separate levels based on experience and training.
