About this Event

Actors in NYC —

This Action Lab workshop explores how actors can create believable fight scenes for film and streaming through story-driven physical conflict.

Many on-screen fights look unrealistic because the emotional beats leading into violence are skipped. In this workshop we explore how discomfort, fear, and decision naturally lead into physical action.

Participants will work through guided scene exercises involving confrontation, struggle, and escape while learning safe techniques drawn from cinematic jiu-jitsu.

This is not a martial arts class.
It is designed for actors interested in performing realistic action on camera.

No martial arts experience is required.
