Company Workshop Yura Kordonsky: Chekhov Weekend Workshop Dates & Times Saturday, September 19, 2026 – 10:00am-6:00pm Sunday, September 20, 2026 – 10:00am-6:00pm We'll take an hour long lunch break each day. Houghton Hall, 22 East 30th Street, Jefferson Studio & Ballroom 2nd Floor This workshop is open to observers and all company members are invited to attend. About the Workshop Director, educator, and Yale faculty member, Yura Kordonsky, returns to The Actors Center for a weekend workshop devoted to the plays of Anton Chekhov. Through practical scene work, participants will examine acting as the art of active listening—to text and subtext, to a partner on stage, and to the physical world of the play. Together with Yura, participants will explore characters’ given circumstances, objectives, and dramatic conflicts in the creation of an actor’s path that leads to a truthful, authentic, and multi-layered life on stage. In particular, Yura draws on Stanislavsky’s Method of Physical Actions, an approach to rehearsal that he developed in the final years of his life but did not complete for publication before his death. At the core of this method lies the exploration of a play through the life of the human body, building the character’s complex emotions out of responses to the simple, specific physical reality of the stage world. Participants may choose any 2- or 3-person scene from any of Chekhov’s plays. Yura has shared a list of possible scenes, but participants may select others if desired. Yura has provided a copy of the Laurence Senelick translation of Chekhov’s plays, but any translation can be used. You can sign up either together with partner(s) or as an individual and you will be paired with other individual(s). Each scene will work every day. Very limited conflicts can be accommodated. If you are looking for partner(s), you may post in the comments thread, or you can also find contact information for all members in the member directory. About Yura Kordonsky Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Yura received his MFA degrees in Acting and Directing from the St. Petersburg State Academy of Theatre Arts, Russia, under the direction of Lev Dodin. He has taught, performed, and directed internationally since 1989. He was previously a resident actor and director at the renowned Maly Drama Theatre–Theatre of Europe in St. Petersburg. His directing credits include his original play Disappearance and House of Bernarda Alba by Lorca (Maly Drama Theatre, St....

Through improvisation, collaboration, and play-based exercises, we will explore how using games can take the high-stakes pressure out of writing and help participants reconnect with their creative impulses. “I've spent years building plays from the ground up using games—Big Times, A Hudson Holiday, Confidence Camp, Junior Year, and several NYU Games Projects,” says Danielle. “Games are more than just ridiculous fun. They can provide a beautiful foundation to help artists generate and develop material together.” By replacing the blank page with ensemble play, we will quiet the need to get it right, so participants can get out of their own way and create original work from a place filled with joy, spontaneity, generosity, and an appetite for risk-taking. Sessions run weekly, 10am-1pm. About Danielle Skraastad Danielle Skraastad is a director, teacher and actor. Danielle teaches Games at NYU’s MFA Graduate Acting Program. She has worked on the development of The Games Project since 2006. She has previously taught classes and workshops for SUNY Purchase, SUNY Albany, The Actors Center, the National Alliance of Acting Teachers, QuestStar, SummerStage, The Heifeitz Institute, among others. Danielle’s acting credits include an upcoming show at The Tank called Legerdemain, the Broadway production of All My Sons, IHO and The Wake at The Public Theater, The Pain and the Itch at Playwrights Horizons, Midwest Porn at The Tent, The Lucky Ones at TheaterLab, Hurricane Diane at New York Theatre Workshop, Anon at The Atlantic, Lidless for Page 73, Red Haired Thomas, Cressida Among the Greeks and The Eyes of Others at The Ohio, Carrie PS 122 with Theater Couture, Big Times with WET, A Midsummer Night’s Dream with The Continuum Project, New Day at Theater for a New City, Fugue at The Cherry Lane Theater and Lascivious Something at The Cherry Lane (Mentor Project).

In this generative playwriting workshop, we’ll find inspiration in the impossibility and phenomenon of human language—how deviance, wrongness, and playfulness with words as well as systems of logic can open us up to a whole new way of conceiving plays. This workshop will encourage writers to consider their authentic play-language, to hone into their poetics, and follow your wildest language impulses. We will read some strange and profound texts together that break all the rules, generate a bunch of writing inside and outside of our time together through tailored prompts, and then share our work with each other for beloved feedback and deep reflection. By mid-workshop, Haruna will ask you to follow through on one of your language impulses towards developing the seeds of a new play. Sessions run weekly, 2-5pm. About Haruna Lee Haruna Lee is a Taiwanese-Japanese-American experimental playwright and performance artist, educator, screenwriter and community steward based in Brooklyn, NY. Their plays are often an urge to honor their mother’s broken English, to translate experiences despite the gulf of cultures, to know their own psychic blood and guts, and to give up on words entirely and commune through epic imagery and ritual. Plays include War Lesbian, Memory Retrograde, Suicide Forest, 49 Days, and DADBOT.

Company Workshop Budi Miller & Taylor Barfield: Embodying Imagination with Masks & Scene Study Four Day Workshop Dates & Times Thursday, October 1, 2026 – 1:00pm-6:00pm Friday, October 2, 2026 – 1:00pm-6:00pm Saturday, October 3, 2026 – 11:00am-6:00pm Sunday, October 4, 2026 – 10:00am-6:00pm – Open to observers Amanda Selwyn Dance Studio, 412 Broadway 2nd Floor (Thursday-Saturday) & Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 E 30th St, Ballroom (Sunday) Please Note: Only Sunday, October 4 is open to observers. About the Workshop Multidisciplinary artist and teacher Budi Miller and dramaturg Taylor Barfield return to The Actors Center for a 4-day mini-intensive where the power of mask becomes a focal point for deep embodiment of a role and scene study. Training in masks requires us to find the internal power of our most creative selves. Masks unlock the deep knowledge of the physical, emotional, and intuitive body, which directly interacts with taksu—a Balinese concept of performance energy marking the divine moment of manifestation. We'll begin to understand its universal presence and its ability to transcend cultures and become a source of inspiration for our craft. Participants will then have the opportunity to work from the intersection of their own culture on scenes, using a vast network of scripts that Taylor has assembled from around the world. The process aims to enable participants to explore and celebrate their cultural heritage while pushing them in their training, selecting scenes with a focus on cultural nuance and dramatic challenge. Participants will experience a visceral awareness of character transformation and explore aspects of movement, improvisation, ensemble training, character embodiment, and spiritual practice for actors, fostering genuine artistic and spiritual growth. <p data-pm-slice="1 1 About Budi Miller Dr. Budi Miller is the former Head of Acting at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne (UoM), Australia (the first black person to hold this position at one of the top 3 drama schools in Australia).

Company Workshop Raymond Lee: Tai Chi Seven Thursday Afternoons Dates & Times Thursday, October 8, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, October 15, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, October 22, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, October 29, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, November 5, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, November 12, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, November 19, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 E 30th St, Jefferson Studio About the Workshop Tai Chi instructor Raymond Lee joins The Actors Center for the first time for seven weeks of drop-in sessions on Thursday afternoons. Tai Chi is often recognized by its slow, flowing movements, but beneath the movement lies a deeper practice: learning to listen to the body, quiet the mind, and become more aware of how energy, intention, and attention shape the way we move and experience ourselves. We will approach Tai Chi not simply as a movement practice, but as an exploration of the relationship between body and mind. Through standing, breathing, weight shifting, fundamental Tai Chi movements, and partner exercises, participants will explore relaxation without collapse, stillness within movement, balance and grounding, and the subtle ways in which intention can organize the entire body. Rather than asking, “How does my movement look?” we will gradually learn to ask, “What do I actually feel?” As awareness deepens, the body itself becomes a source of information. We begin to notice unnecessary tension, shifts in balance, internal sensations, and our instinctive responses to another person’s presence and energy. No previous Tai Chi or martial arts experience is necessary. Each session will build progressively while leaving space for curiosity, personal discovery, and individual experience. While the seven sessions are designed to build progressively, each session also stands on its own, so participants are welcome to join at any point in the series and will be able to follow the class without having attended previous sessions. <p data-pm-slice="1 1 About Raymond Lee Raymond Lee (Tai Chi Ray) is a New York City–based Tai Chi instructor and founder of Manhattan Tai Chi.

Company Workshop Danielle Skraastad: Playing into Possibility Five Monday Mornings Dates & Times Monday, September 14, 2026 – 10:00am-1:00pm Monday, September 21, 2026 – 10:00am-1:00pm Monday, September 28, 2026 – 10:00am-1:00pm Monday, October 5, 2026 – 10:00am-1:00pm Monday, October 12, 2026 – 10:00am-1:00pm Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 E 30th Street, Jefferson Studio About the Workshop Actor, teacher, and NYU Grad Acting faculty, Danielle Skraastad, returns to The Actors Center for a series of five Monday mornings devoted to creating original material through play. Through improvisation, collaboration, and play-based exercises, we will explore how using games can take the high-stakes pressure out of writing and help participants reconnect with their creative impulses. “I've spent years building plays from the ground up using games—Big Times, A Hudson Holiday, Confidence Camp, Junior Year, and several NYU Games Projects,” says Danielle. “Games are more than just ridiculous fun. They can provide a beautiful foundation to help artists generate and develop material together.” By replacing the blank page with ensemble play, we will quiet the need to get it right, so participants can get out of their own way and create original work from a place filled with joy, spontaneity, generosity, and an appetite for risk-taking. Sessions run weekly, 10am-1pm. About Danielle Skraastad Danielle Skraastad is a director, teacher and actor. Danielle teaches Games at NYU’s MFA Graduate Acting Program. She has worked on the development of The Games Project since 2006. She has previously taught classes and workshops for SUNY Purchase, SUNY Albany, The Actors Center, the National Alliance of Acting Teachers, QuestStar, SummerStage, The Heifeitz Institute, among others. Danielle’s acting credits include an upcoming show at The Tank called Legerdemain, the Broadway production of All My Sons, IHO and The Wake at The Public Theater, The Pain and the Itch at Playwrights Horizons, Midwest Porn at The Tent, The Lucky Ones at TheaterLab, Hurricane Diane at New York Theatre Workshop, Anon at The Atlantic, Lidless for Page 73, Red Haired Thomas, Cressida Among the Greeks and The Eyes of Others at The Ohio, Carrie PS 122 with Theater Couture, Big Times with WET, A Midsummer Night’s Dream with The Continuum Project, New Day at Theater for a New City, Fugue at The Cherry Lane Theater and Lascivious Something at The Cherry Lane (Mentor Project).

In this generative playwriting workshop, we’ll find inspiration in the impossibility and phenomenon of human language—how deviance, wrongness, and playfulness with words as well as systems of logic can open us up to a whole new way of conceiving plays. This workshop will encourage writers to consider their authentic play-language, to hone into their poetics, and follow your wildest language impulses. We will read some strange and profound texts together that break all the rules, generate a bunch of writing inside and outside of our time together through tailored prompts, and then share our work with each other for beloved feedback and deep reflection. By mid-workshop, Haruna will ask you to follow through on one of your language impulses towards developing the seeds of a new play. Sessions run weekly, 2-5pm.

Company Workshop Haruna Lee: Playwriting Six Tuesday Afternoons Dates & Times Tuesday, September 29, 2026 — 2:00pm-5:00pm Tuesday, October 6, 2026— 2:00pm-5:00pm Tuesday, October 13, 2026 — 2:00pm-5:00pm — No Session, October 20, 2026 — Tuesday, October 27, 2026 — 2:00pm-5:00pm Tuesday, November 3, 2026 — 2:00pm-5:00pm Tuesday, November 10, 2026 — 2:00pm-5:00pm Sheen Center for Thought and Culture, 18 Bleecker Street Studio A (October 13-November 10) & Studio C (September 29 & October 6) About the Workshop Theater maker, screenwriter, and educator Haruna Lee returns to The Actors Center for a 6-week playwriting workshop on Tuesday afternoons. “I’ve been thinking a whole lot about the role of language in plays, and how experimental language and playwriting are kindred spirits,” says Haruna. In this generative playwriting workshop, we’ll find inspiration in the impossibility and phenomenon of human language—how deviance, wrongness, and playfulness with words as well as systems of logic can open us up to a whole new way of conceiving plays. This workshop will encourage writers to consider their authentic play-language, to hone into their poetics, and follow your wildest language impulses. We will read some strange and profound texts together that break all the rules, generate a bunch of writing inside and outside of our time together through tailored prompts, and then share our work with each other for beloved feedback and deep reflection. By mid-workshop, Haruna will ask you to follow through on one of your language impulses towards developing the seeds of a new play. Sessions run weekly, 2-5pm. About Haruna Lee Haruna Lee is a Taiwanese-Japanese-American experimental playwright and performance artist, educator, screenwriter and community steward based in Brooklyn, NY. Their plays are often an urge to honor their mother’s broken English, to translate experiences despite the gulf of cultures, to know their own psychic blood and guts, and to give up on words entirely and commune through epic imagery and ritual. Plays include War Lesbian, Memory Retrograde, Suicide Forest, 49 Days, and DADBOT. Lee is a recipient of the 2026 Guggenheim Fellowship, a 2026 Creative Capital Award, a 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize Finalist receiving a Special Commendation, a 2021 Steinberg Playwright Award, a 2021 FCA Grants to Artists Award, and a 2020 Obie Award for Playwriting. Their writing has been published by Broadway Licensing, Yale’s Theater Magazine, Table Work Press, and 53rd State Press. As a performer and collaborator, they’ve worked alongside Lynn Nottage, Aya...

Company Workshop Raymond Lee: Tai Chi Seven Thursday Afternoons Dates & Times Thursday, October 8, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, October 15, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, October 22, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, October 29, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, November 5, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, November 12, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Thursday, November 19, 2026 – 2:00pm-4:00pm Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 E 30th St, Jefferson Studio About the Workshop Tai Chi instructor Raymond Lee joins The Actors Center for the first time for seven weeks of drop-in sessions on Thursday afternoons. Tai Chi is often recognized by its slow, flowing movements, but beneath the movement lies a deeper practice: learning to listen to the body, quiet the mind, and become more aware of how energy, intention, and attention shape the way we move and experience ourselves. We will approach Tai Chi not simply as a movement practice, but as an exploration of the relationship between body and mind. Through standing, breathing, weight shifting, fundamental Tai Chi movements, and partner exercises, participants will explore relaxation without collapse, stillness within movement, balance and grounding, and the subtle ways in which intention can organize the entire body. Rather than asking, “How does my movement look?” we will gradually learn to ask, “What do I actually feel?” As awareness deepens, the body itself becomes a source of information. We begin to notice unnecessary tension, shifts in balance, internal sensations, and our instinctive responses to another person’s presence and energy. No previous Tai Chi or martial arts experience is necessary. Each session will build progressively while leaving space for curiosity, personal discovery, and individual experience. While the seven sessions are designed to build progressively, each session also stands on its own, so participants are welcome to join at any point in the series and will be able to follow the class without having attended previous sessions. <p data-pm-slice="1 1 About Raymond Lee Raymond Lee (Tai Chi Ray) is a New York City–based Tai Chi instructor and founder of Manhattan Tai Chi.
