At StoryAtlas, YOUR opinion matters. We did an extensive survey of our actors this year and checked in about what YOU needed in 2016. Based on the results, we’ll be making a few changes around here and will present to you the workshops YOU need the most.

Now to the good part….our 2016 workshops! At StoryAtlas, we combine the creative and the pragmatic, bringing you topic-based instruction that sharpens your skills. Generalized instruction is great, but solving problems related to a specific acting topic more accurately reflects the acting challenges you face in the real world. We asked you which topics YOU wanted in 2016 and programmed these workshops accordingly:
