About the Course
Short on time but ready to dive in? This two-day intensive delivers the essentials of our Level One acting course in a fast-paced, immersive format. Over 16 hours, you’ll explore improvisation, core acting techniques, clown performance, and on-camera scene study, all designed to build your confidence, sharpen your craft, and prepare you for professional sets.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a stronger understanding of acting fundamentals, the tools to take your next step as a performer and a professionally filmed and edit scene to use as appropriate demo reel material.

About Actor’s Tool Box
We started Actors Toolbox because we care deeply about creating a space where actors can continue to grow, connect, and learn together. In bigger hubs like Vancouver and Toronto, actors have access to ongoing training year-round, and we felt our community deserved the same opportunities here at home.
Our aim is simple: to offer more than one-off workshops by creating a consistent space where actors can practice their craft, gain confidence, and support one another along the way. This is about strengthening our community while helping each actor feel ready for whatever comes next, on set and beyond.
