Join the acting class
The acting class for absolute beginners with Charlie Curilan.
Have you been wondering… “can I get up, play at things, act as though I am somebody else… comedically, dramatically? Can I do this acting thing… at least a little bit?”
Is there a curiosity to try it, test yourself out and kick up a little excitement for trying?
Come, drop in for a cycle of weekly classes, to play-act-game-improvise-play some more. Give it a go. Learn what it is to “act” by… Acting.
This class is specifically designed for the complete, absolute beginner. It can be a spring board to experience a sense of the kind of playing actors do to begin to understand how one might get better at it. Though, the class is also offered in a way that just allows you to come and leap into exercises and role playing in a very loose and non stressful way. Weekly, we work with some structure, and then just try to enjoy the ride..see what all of us can create together.
We will do a bit of script work too… you taking on only what you can handle.
You’ll be in the capable hands of award-winning actor Charlie Curilan who has performed in The Netherlands and Internationally in film, dramatic stage works, musicals, commercials, and television.
This class, The Acting Class for Absolute Beginners, it is part I of our introduction to acting. Later, if you wish, you may progress to part II with The Foundations of Acting to get a little more serious, and finally to part III with The Foundations of Acting with an Introduction to Acting for the Camera.

Very Very precise, very “welll read,” and always very very relaxed. haha. I left teasching at a film school in the Philippines in 2018, and then found one of the best Pilipino actors right here in the Netherlands. As I look again at the CoffeeShop scene, I see even more how damn good you were.. ..really, just excellent…Some got it, some don’t..you do. Shine on.
