Actress, researcher, educator, and psychoanalyst, I teach physical theatre and body expression classes aimed at fostering greater self-aware

Van 65.51 $ /h

In my classes, I work with mindfulness, presence, energetic expansion, and ancestry as foundational elements of the creative process. Through embodied practices, I guide students in developing self-awareness, a deeper connection with themselves, and a conscious interaction with space. This work can be directed both toward the construction of truthful, grounded characters and toward more abstract explorations, engaging the interior dimensions of each individual and their unique expressive potential.
I am a Brazilian actress and educator based in Glasgow, with over 13 years of experience in theatre and butoh. With a background in Dramatic Arts, Psychoanalysis, and Literature, my work is grounded in ongoing field research and embodied practice, bringing together lived experience and teaching. I have been teaching since 2012 and successfully transitioned to online instruction in 2019, building a loyal and engaged community of students in Brazil. I am now excited to expand my work and share this practice with students worldwide.
As a member of the Brazilian theatre group Coletivo MÓ, I specialize in physical theatre techniques inspired by masters such as Luís Otávio Burnier, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba, Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, and Tadashi Endo. My practice also incorporates elements of Butoh dance and clow, creating a rich, multidimensional approach to performance, creativity, and self-expression.

Extra informatie

While English is not my first language, I communicate clearly within my work. My classes are deeply embodied and rely on elements such as presence, energy, mindfulness, and physical expression, allowing learning to happen beyond words.

Do you like to sing and want to develop your voice? Great, because singing is great fun and healthy!

During my lessons we will explore the possibilities of your voice together. The development of a healthy, natural voice and pleasure are central.
That is why the lessons are completely adapted to your qualities, taste and pace. Together we work on solid singing technique, breathing, articulation, interpretation, musicality and vocal hygiene. We explore the classical singing repertoire and look for music that suits your voice. You can also take a trip to other genres (jazz, pop, musical, ...) You learn to use your voice from a classical approach, but with good singing technique you can handle many styles!

Why you should come to class:

- You have always wanted to learn to sing, with or without a specific goal in mind
- You are curious about the possibilities for (further) developing your voice
- You are looking for a creative outlet
- You suffer from a often tired speaking voice and want to make it stronger
- You sing in a choir and you want to work on your singing technique or you need some extra help while studying
- ...

Whatever your motivation, you are always welcome!
Do you have questions or doubts about whether singing is something for you? Do not hesitate to contact me.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

About our partnership with Hollywood

Hollywood Actor's Showcase and Richie's Acting Workshop is one of the best-known, most influential acting schools in the United States. After 30 years of training for aspiring actors and Hollywood stars (including Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore), she teamed up with Belgium's Badass Intensive Acting Studios last year to expand European. The goal is simple: to bring the authentic energy of Hollywood to Europe, so that even people who cannot afford to move to America themselves can receive the same education.

There are not many acting courses that focus on acting in front of the camera. After all, most schools teach you — implicitly or explicitly — theater techniques and while the art of acting itself remains central, it should be clear that acting for TV and film requires slightly different skills, as it usually involves subtler, smaller expressions and movements. . Film connoisseurs therefore know that the camera tends to notice the smallest emotion.

The most minuscule micro-expressions, the least obvious 'subtext' and the most layered interpretations are visible on both the large and the small screen.

In Belgium, Badass PR's Intensive Acting Courses have long been one of the few acting classes that deal exclusively with acting in front of the camera, supplemented with improvisation.

During the lessons, all the important acting techniques are discussed, including those of Adler, Chekhov, Hagen, Meisner, Practical Aesthetics, Stanislavski and Strasberg, but the goal remains the same: to forget technique in a sense and to act as naturally as you breathe. Badass Intensive Acting Studios' own technology, REPEAT, has also been developed for this.

Ever since author / coach / editor / PR consultant Dirk started teaching acting classes more than 10 years ago, he has tried to offer his students as many opportunities as he could. That went by trial and error: sometimes he failed to get something off the ground, at other times he succeeded in his objectives. Those of his students range from developing more self-confidence to becoming more sociable and getting more opportunities to star in a play, a movie or a TV series. One of the best decisions: partnering with the Hollywood Actors' Studios of Larry, Bobbie and Richie Chance - three of the most famous acting coaches in the film world.

Badass Intensive Acting has been organizing workshops in Los Angeles and Las Vegas for years now to enable its students to learn from the most prestigious instructors, talent agents and casting directors that Los Angeles has on offer. For example, the collaboration with Hollywood Actor's Showcase and Richie's Acting workshop has already paid off.

Of course it depends on many factors whether you can achieve success as an actor — a great deal of luck and a lot of dedication are usually very important — but the students at the Chances can certainly say that they are as prepared as they can be. From improv lessons to working with scripts and intensely emotional lessons, the courses cover the entire spectrum of what the film world needs.

Since August 2019, Badass Intensive Acting Studios and Hollywood Actor's Showcase in Belgium have been flying under a banner. In Belgium, the Chances now work exclusively with Badass Intensive Acting Studios (now 'Powered by Hollywood Actor's Showcase'). The participating students not only receive a discount on the international workshops, but can also enjoy many other benefits.

With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress.

Also don't forget that you can collect points with an UitPas! Early bird discounts are also available for all our workshops. So be quick.

The acting course is continuous. So you can choose which lessons you participate in and which you do not.

Hello, I am Kyra. I have both an artistic and educational master in drama at LUCA School of Arts. In addition, I sometimes give acting coaching as a teacher at the drama department of LUCA School of Arts.

I offer two things:

1) Basic camera acting course (Beginner/Intermediate):
How do I behave in front of the camera? What is the difference between acting in a film and acting on stage?
What should I look out for? What are the secrets of castings? And what should I know?

Using a fictional casting, we will investigate together how you come across on screen. We will analyze a scene and work with different camera techniques such as applying different image formats, listening, reacting and thinking on screen so that you can confidently take the (next) step in the world of camera acting.

2) Game coaching in preparation for an audition or shooting day (Beginner/intermediate/advanced):

I coach you in preparing a monologue/scene for an audition or a shooting day.

I am happy to act as a guide for your first steps in the world of (on-camera) acting and auditioning.

In recent years, the audition process for actors via self-submitted tapes has quickly become the preferred method of casting directors. 90% of all 1st round auditions for film, theater and television are now held as self-tapes. This requires actors to develop the appropriate technical skills to perform a successful self-tape audition.

The advantage is that today you can film auditions in the comfort of your own home. you can make as many tries as you want until you have the ideal tape.
In addition, you no longer have to make time to audition, and you save a lot of travel costs.

The workshop consists of 6 working weeks. After these sessions, the actor will have performed 6 scenes from 1 film or play - including 2 takes per scene.
In short, you will have created a total of 12 self-tapes yourself.

In this workshop you will be taken on a journey of discovery into the practical and artistic requirements for making effective self-tapes.

The sessions include practical “do's and don'ts”, as well as thorough and creative script analysis.

I believe that everyone can draw. All it takes is to sit down, start, and keep practicing. I have taught myself to draw faces/portraits and that is why I am very enthusiastic about conveying my creative process to others, so that they can also get started with what they want to create.

I have developed my art and creative process throughout my life. After training at three different art academies, including Willem de Kooning in Rotterdam, I have now been working full-time as an artist for 8 years. I make my works with acrylic paint, but I still draw and sketch a lot on paper. My art style is a mix of spontaneous realism and abstract use of color, pop art and comic style.

Are you interested in being creative, even if you don't know how and/or whether you can do it yet? No problem. We will work together and you will find your way of drawing or painting.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Everyone learns differently. That's why I teach the way you want. You decide what you want to learn and how, including when your lesson takes place and how long it lasts.

I teach art history to anyone who wants to, regardless of age or level, online or at my home in Velp. You can learn about, among other things, the visual arts, music and literature from prehistory to the present. You can work towards an exam/test/training or just learn out of interest. Whether it concerns Michelangelo's David or the graffiti on the walls of Dubai, I'll be happy to tell you about it. Anything is possible.

I trained as a musician/writer and teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education and have taught art history, music history, creative writing, and other subjects to the upper grades of a small secondary school for several years, where I am also a team member. I write teaching materials that are used at various secondary and higher education schools. I have extensive experience with innovative teaching methods and one-on-one teaching.

If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Besides art history, you can also come to me for lessons in music theory, creative writing and mathematics.

I started my journey of learning how to shuffle/cut shapes a little over a year and a half ago and it ignited a flame of passion in me like nothing had in a very long time. I'd say it's turned into a somewhat spiritual experience for me. Although there is of course still a lot for me to learn and improve on and I feel like my journey has just started, I feel confident that I can help others get started on their own journey. My fundamentals as well as my knowledge and understanding of the dance are pretty solid and I would never try to teach you something that is outside of my expertise. I think at the end of the day though, the most important thing with dance is to just have fun and to learn to find confidence and freedom in your expression through it, so most of all I hope I can help you find that.
