Our acting philosophy is rooted in “acting as the art of the empathetic imagination”. We have 30+ years of experience that reflects a verifiable truth- every single actor has the capacity to make a difference on the set and in the world of storytelling through the widening of their empathetic embrace. Empathy is an experience of imagined possibility. Make believe is a game of experiencing an alternative awareness. We know that sometimes, as an actor, your attention and awareness is on things that don’t create the most value for your playing. We have a proven philosophy, practical application and daily creative practice that addresses self consciousness, efficiency, perfectionism and nerves, transforming all of these vulnerabilities into your superpowers. You create the world you play in®. It’s time to stop looking for a method and find a mission.
our philosophy
freeing the human story - one actor at a time.

classes
Through your engagements with others, you experience individual clarity.
Discover your I AM through an experience of WE ARE.
Our online and in-person acting classes in LA offer the important mirroring experience found by watching and engaging with other artists. Our scene study classes offer a deep dive into scripted material, and includes teaching you how to craft an impactful and influential interpretive framework, what it means to play proactively instead of reactively (i.e., in this business, you don’t want to be practiced at being only as talented as your acting partner) and gives you weekly opportunities to express your authentic, dynamic I AM. Our philosophy is that a good acting teacher doesn't tell you what to see - but guides you where to look. Self sufficiency is the greatest of all riches. The most important consequence of self-sufficiency is freedom. Epicurus

FEEL THE TRANSFORMATION
Playwright Henrik Ibsen wrote: “The only revolution that counts is a revolution of the human spirit.” Transformation on the inside results in transformation on the outside. On average it takes 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic. It takes approximately 10,000 hours of practice for mastery. Inner transformation results in real world outer effects-and this is what you can expect from attending our classes. A solid daily creative practice, a widening of your empathetic embrace and a whole new way of seeing scripted material that transforms your way of being when you play. Enjoy the stories of transformation by watching and reading testimonials from Imagined Lifers. “Fear is vanity.” Eleonora Duse
