For our 1st International Masterclass in Russia, we will be welcoming Marcel Simoneau, a Canadian/American actor/director who has been teaching at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and New York University for over 20 years.

Marcel will be joined by acclaimed actress Lyanka Gryu with international experience in Russia, America and Europe. For more than 30 years, Lyanka has been professionally acting in theater, film and television.

In this Masterclass, through physical and emotionally challenging exercises, including the Meisner technique and Lee Strasberg’s Method, we will explore a deeper understanding of ourselves and our connections with our partners.

Through Movement (Alexandr) and Speech (Valeria Kryaneva) we will expand the awareness and depth of the expressed behavior of our instruments.

In the second part of the day, we will give you practical and technical tools for the growing world of Self Tapes and the changing landscape of the Business and Casting world in America.

Diving into scene and monologue work, we will incorporate these new tools to build a bridge between theory and performance.
