Acting With Authenticity With Joe Garcia

If you’re ready to stop "acting" and start living truthfully in the moment, then you've come to the right place.
Acting With Authenticity focuses on presence, emotional connection, and storytelling that feels lived-in rather than performed. You’ll explore tools that help you drop into the moment, follow your impulses, and build characters from a grounded, human place.
This class is open to all levels. You’ll be paired and coached in a way that meets you where you are, giving you the space to stretch while still feeling supported.
Week by week, you’ll strengthen your instincts, sharpen your scene work, and grow your confidence in the room. The goal is simple: develop work that feels honest, specific, and fully your own.
If you’re craving deeper training, a collaborative room, and a chance to reconnect with the joy of the craft, this class will feel like home.
At the end of six-weeks, you'll take the stage for a live showcase of your work in class!
