The Creative Lab
with Patrick McGowan
**All of our weekly students, whether enrolled in Scene Study or Film/TV Audition Technique, are required to participate in the Creative Lab course. You can either complete it as a prerequisite before starting your acting course or concurrently with your first month of classes.
In search of tools to infuse your acting with more personal depth, authenticity, and a connection to your unique voice? Ever feel like your auditions lack the essence of you?
​
Please note: ***This course should not be thought of as an introductory acting class (though beginners are more than welcome, and it will be beneficial to your acting journey). Nor is the class focused on beginner-level jargon. Please read the course description below to understand the course objective.***
The Creative Lab equips you with tools to transcend conventional script analysis, connecting your insights to your unique impulses and imagination. This is why the Creative Lab serves as the cornerstone of our training program—a profound exploration of the creative process with a modern and practical application tailored for today’s working actor. It introduces innovative tools such as Active Analysis, The Creative State, and Creative Tasks, approached from both a science-based and artistic perspective. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, a relative newcomer, or somewhere in between, The Creative Lab will help you cultivate work that is more engaged, creative, personal, and alive.
