The Masterclass is the Studio’s most immersive training experience.

Across four intensive days, actors are invited into a deep exploration of craft and technique, working in an open, dynamic learning environment led by Howard Fine, who travels from Los Angeles to teach in person. The focus is on process rather than performance (on listening, responding, and working truthfully in the moment).

Each year, a carefully selected ensemble engages in scene work as a way into the Studio’s approach and ethos. This work unfolds in public, offering participants and auditors alike a powerful opportunity to learn through observation, inquiry, and lived process.

Grounded in generosity and trust, the Masterclass creates a space free from judgement, one that supports actors to grow not only during the four days, but long after they leave the room.
