The work is both physically engaging and psychologically rich\, guiding actors to discover how inner life and expression arise through the body. Her teaching is rooted in the classical traditions of Konstantin Stanislavski and Michael Chekhov. “At the heart of my teaching is the belief that imagination is the primary creative force in performance. Mind\, body\, and feeling are inseparable. In class\, we create the conditions for characters to unfold instinctively through physical action\, psychological awareness\, and imaginative freedom. \nPlease note this is an ongoing subscription-based class. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  URL:https://bergstudios.com/event/tuesday-introductory-scene-study/ LOCATION:Berg Studios\, 3245 Casitas Ave #104\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90039\, United States CATEGORIES:In Person Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bergstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/tuesday-introductory-scene-study-classes-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260607T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260621T140000 DTSTAMP:20260611T104156 CREATED:20260520T214507Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260609T225345Z UID:10000274-1780830000-1782050400@bergstudios.com SUMMARY:Online Scene Study Classes DESCRIPTION:The goal of Berg’s online scene study class is to combine the depth and rigor of his in-person work with the unique demands and possibilities of on-camera performance. Using Zoom as our “frame\,” students will begin applying foundational acting tools directly to performance in a way that feels immediate\, active\, and alive. \nTogether\, we explore how to turn text into meaningful action—balancing spontaneity with structure to create work that is honest\, dynamic\, and deeply connected. The class encourages actors to trust their instincts while building a strong technical foundation\, helping each student develop performances that feel authentic\, imaginative\, and fully realized. \nAs students strengthen their craft\, they also gain a clearer understanding of how their work translates on camera\, building confidence and presence for film and television performance. The focus throughout is on creating truthful work rooted in technique\, imagination\, and personal connection. \nIn this class\, you will experience: \n\nIntegration of in-person scene study techniques with on-camera work\nUse of Zoom as a performance “frame” for practical application\nTraining in foundational tools: language\, gesture\, beat work\, and script analysis\nTechniques for turning text into clear\, purposeful action\nEmphasis on balancing spontaneity with structure in performance\nDevelopment of imaginative\, dynamic\, and fully realized characters\nBuilding confidence and authenticity for film and TV settings\nStrengthening technique through imaginative and personal choices\n\nPlease note this is an ongoing subscription-based class.

Students will learn the fundamentals of working on camera\, including audition technique\, scene analysis\, emotional truth\, and how that work translates to on-set work. \nIn a supportive and structured environment\, actors apply the discovery and creative choices explored in scene study to the practical demands of being on camera. The class emphasizes authenticity\, listening\, and confidence\, helping students translate their work into clear\, grounded\, and truthful on-camera performances. The on-camera acting classes help actors gain confidence and authenticity on film and TV sets by connecting their craft to the camera through strong technique and imaginative choices. The program offers practical\, affordable training that builds skill\, experience\, and truthfulness in on-screen performance \n\nDevelop strong on-camera acting techniques for film and television\nLearn practical and illuminating script analysis\nFind how to approach physical action and movement naturally on set\nPractice essential camera skills\, including hitting marks and working with lighting\nExplore how performance shifts depending on shot size and framing\nGain insight into professional on-set etiquette and workflow\nStrengthen your ability to work truthfully and effectively in close-up\nDesigned to build confidence and ease in front of the camera and on film/TV sets\nFocus on connecting the authentic self and strong technique to on-camera performance\nEmphasis on truthful\, imaginative choices over tricks or shortcuts\nAffordable\, practical training that grounds film and TV acting in solid craft\n\nOur on-camera acting classes are designed to help you feel confident and at home in front of the camera and on a working film or television set. We build on everything we explore in our other courses\, always grounding the work in the authentic use of self. Our goal is simple: to help you connect your craft to the camera in a real\, honest way—without relying on tricks or shortcuts. We believe strong technique and imaginative choices are what truly translate on screen. \nWe’re proud to offer valuable\, affordable classes that give actors the tools\, experience\, and confidence to do their best\, most imaginative work on camera. \nPlease note this is an ongoing subscription-based class.

My goal is to help each student discover and strengthen their own unique responsiveness as an artist\, developing a deeper awareness of what they personally need to meet a challenge and do their best work. \nActing begins with imagination\, connection\, and presence—especially in relationship to your scene partner(s). Every actor works differently: one student may connect most strongly through visual imagery\, while another may unlock a scene through breathwork\, movement\, or a kinesthetic approach. Part of the work is building a rich toolbox of techniques and learning when and how to use them. \nI primarily work with scenes from plays because they offer actors a strong sense of narrative arc and are written specifically to serve the actor’s craft. This foundation also prepares students for the continuity and storytelling demands of filmed and edited work. \nPlease note this is an ongoing subscription-based class.

This series is a prerequisite for training with Gregory Berger \nThe four classes of the series are: \nTechnique: This class provides a fundamental understanding of our approach to the work\, introducing familiar acting vocabulary through our distinct perspective on essentials like objectives and actions. Rather than stopping at intellectual understanding\, it moves technique into the body\, where spontaneous and imaginative behavior lives. Through this process\, you’ll be guided toward discovering your own process and developing a technique that is truly your own. \n\nProvides a fundamental understanding of our approach to the work\nIntroduces familiar acting vocabulary through our distinct perspective on essentials like objectives and actions\nMoves technique beyond intellectual understanding and into the body\, where spontaneous and imaginative behavior lives\nGuides you toward discovering your own process and developing a technique that is truly your own.\n\nScript Analysis: This class systematically breaks down a play or screenplay to understand the writer’s intent\, themes\, and structure — moving beyond purely academic analysis to uncover what lives beneath the words. The focus is on illuminating the script rather than merely illustrating it\, transforming textual information into compelling\, imaginative behavior. \n\nSystematically breaks down a play or screenplay to understand the writer’s intent\, themes\, and structure\nMoves beyond purely academic analysis to uncover what lives beneath the words\nFocuses on illuminating the script rather than merely illustrating it\nTransforms textual information into compelling\, imaginative behavior.\n\nSense Stress: This session offers a deep exploration of the language of a script\, focusing on imagery\, understanding\, and creativity. Students will experience practical demonstrations of how to mark up their script\, developing a personal “road map” through its language.

The work is designed to release the actor’s imagination through technique\, cultivating authentic\, spontaneous behavior on camera. This approach empowers actors to separate themselves from the pack—revealing their private selves and making bold\, truthful creative choices. \nDrawing from the same techniques and experience he brought to his on-camera acting course at The Yale School of Drama\, Berg will help you access your own powerful imagination and make it palpable\, visceral\, and fully transferable to the rigors and constraints of film and television. \nThroughout the intensive\, actors will be filmed during each session and will review their work with Berg\, gaining clear\, actionable insight into their on-camera presence and performance.

The physical and imaginative freedom that can be discovered through the Alexander work can be a vital part of the actor’s craft. \nAll communication starts with the body. It is the point of origin for the voice\, emotional life\, and physical activity. It also creates and communicates meaning to the audience – our physical actions and responses are interpreted by the onlooker –and performers need to be in charge of this process. \nIn this workshop\, actors develop an awareness of their psychophysical habits that cause tension and interfere with performance. By using principles of the Alexander Technique you will deepen the connections between your body\, breath\, and voice. Movement inspires this dynamic relationship by integrating all the parts of the actor’s instrument. \nCOURSE CONTENT: \n\nConnecting to the body through awareness with the Alexander Technique (getting out of your head)\nFreeing impulse and response patterns\nFinding the breath and rhythm of the character\nRecognizing the force of habit\nImproving breath coordination and vocal quality\nImproving our movement by learning to organize body relationships\nUnderstanding Means and Ends\nMaking clear choices of intention\nInfusing direction in our thinking and movement\nApplying the Alexander Technique to monologues\, sonnets\, songs\, and scenes\nLearning to develop characters physically (if I believe your body\, I’ll believe your character URL:https://bergstudios.com/event/alexander-technique-with-kristof-konrad/ LOCATION:Berg Studios\, 3245 Casitas Ave #104\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90039\, United States CATEGORIES:In Person Events,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bergstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Alexander-Technique-Workshop-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260622T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260625T170000 DTSTAMP:20260611T104156 CREATED:20260524T225856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260609T220845Z UID:10000339-1782122400-1782406800@bergstudios.com SUMMARY:Yat Malmgren Beginners Workshop DESCRIPTION:This June\, we are thrilled to welcome back former London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) instructor James Kemp for beginner/advanced workshops of Yat Malmgren movement psychology! \nAt the heart of the work is the concept that we think with our bodies. Our bodies are revelatory of our inner workings\, our psyche\, thoughts\, and feelings. Therefore\, if we could learn to harness and manifest our inner sensations and express them through our bodies\, we would be able to share every inner desire\, want\, thought\, or emotion with a watching audience. And in turn that audience would be able to ‘read’ our thoughts\, and character\, and be thoroughly engaged in our dramatic lives. \nBy the end of the presentation\, you will be looking at the world through new eyes\, being able to ‘read’ the movements of those around you for meaning and to create physically expressive characterizations that both excite the imagination and serve the writers’ intentions.

You will create ‘Near Exercises’\, structured improvisations exploring character creation\, tempo/rhythm\, and dramatic composition. You will apply the theory onto text. You are invited to use language from Shakespeare to modern drama or even contemporary film. You are invited to use pieces that you already know that you would like to explore through the additional lens of this work\, or you can work on new text. Both the Near Exercises and text work will give you the chance to explore\, enhance\, and embed the theory into your craft and practice with detailed feedback. You will apply all the work from the Beginners workshop to a full ‘realistic’ text.
