Company Workshop Emmanuelle Delpech: Neutral Mask Weekend Workshop Dates & Times Saturday, April 4, 2026 – 10:00am-5:00pm Sunday,  April 5, 2026 – 10:00am-5:00pm ART/New York, 520 8th Avenue, 3rd Floor, Studio E This workshop is only open to participants. We are unable to accommodate observers. About the Workshop Physical theatre artist, director, and teacher Emmanuelle Delpech joins The Actors Center for the first time for a weekend workshop devoted to Neutral Mask. The mask of calm and balance, it is a pedagogical tool that challenges the actor to use their entire body to discover presence through experiencing and understanding the ‘neutral state’—a state without personal stories, where there is no past nor future. Through emphasizing presence, the actor works toward an economy of movement, and thus, uncovers their unique, personal rhythms and habits. By letting go of those habits, the actor can create a blank slate from which characters can be built and acting can begin. About Emmanuelle Delpech Emmanuelle Delpech is a French physical theater artist and teacher living in the United States. She was classically trained in France at the Ecole Supérieure d’Art Dramatique de la Ville de Paris and then studied physical theater at l’Ecole Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq, where she now serves on the faculty.

Company Workshop Steven Epp: Molière Wednesday & Friday Afternoons Dates & Times Friday, April 17, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Wednesday, April 22, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Friday, April 24, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Wednesday, April 29, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Friday, May 1, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 East 30th Street All dates except for Friday, April 17 will be open to observers. About the Workshop Actor, writer, director, and Co-Artistic Director of The Moving Company, Steven Epp, joins The Actors Center for the first time for a workshop devoted to Molière. Over five sessions, we'll tear into some scenes from Tartuffe, The Miser, The Misanthrope, possibly Don Juan and Scapin—fresh American adaptations that Steven co-wrote and performed. Molière was first and foremost an actor. He loved actors. He wrote specifically for his company of actors, whose lives were the theatre 24/7. He was incendiary, hilarious, provocative, and philosophical; also ridiculous, muscular, brutal, immediate, and profoundly human. A tragedian trapped in a comedian's body and mind. His characters are pure joy for the actor—inviting and demanding boundless invention, wild interpretation, and exuberant play. We'll work scripts in hand, moving towards off-booked-ness as we go. We'll paraphrase, improvise, change it up, play any and all parts—casting ourselves across gender, age, and type. There's no right or wrong here, but we'll be looking for the truth of that moment where the comic and the tragic live in each other's arms. Sessions run Wednesday and Friday afternoons, 1:00–4:00pm. About Steven Epp Steven Epp is an actor and writer based in Brooklyn, New York and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Steven was the co-Artistic Director of Theatre de la Jeune Lune, winner of the 2005 Tony award for Best Regional Theatre. In his 25 years with Jeune Lune, Steven collaborated on the creation and performance of over 50 productions. Steven has been seen in New York and throughout the United States. He has played lead roles in everything from Hamlet, The Miser, Tartuffe, Figaro, and The Servant of Two Masters to Fiddler on the Roof, Treasure Island, and The Lorax. For Jeune Lune, Steven co-authored Children of Paradise, shortlisted for the 1993 Pulitzer Prize, and winner of the Outer-Critics Circle Award for best new play. Steven has received numerous acting awards including Helen Hayes, Norton, Ivey, Connecticut Critics Circle, Bay Area Critics, Fox Fellow, Beinecke Fellow, and Playwrights’ Center McKnight Theater Artist Fellow, and the Joe A.

About the Workshop Actors, teachers, and founders of The Moving Frame, Welker White and Damian Young, return to The Actors Center to lead a cinematic scene study workshop. Over two analysis sessions and two weekends of filming, this workshop is intended to aid actors in building a more sustainable framework from which to draw upon in their film and television work and to provide actors with a safe, supportive, and rich environment to explore key principles in cinematic storytelling. The workshop begins with two sessions on Zoom with an analysis of text aimed at identifying how and where visual story is expressed on the page. Actors will then move into two weekends shooting short scripted scenes in pairs. Each scene will have the opportunity to work twice over the two weekends, moving through multiple takes. Participants will explore letting go of previous takes and allowing new stimuli to inform and deepen the possibilities in the work. Introductory sessions run Tuesday and Wednesday evening, 6:30pm-9:00pm. The two weekends of filming are on consecutive Saturdays and Sundays, 12:00pm-4:00pm.

Company Workshop Steven Epp: Molière Wednesday & Friday Afternoons Dates & Times Friday, April 17, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Wednesday, April 22, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Friday, April 24, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Wednesday, April 29, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Friday, May 1, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 East 30th Street All dates except for Friday, April 17 will be open to observers. About the Workshop Actor, writer, director, and Co-Artistic Director of The Moving Company, Steven Epp, joins The Actors Center for the first time for a workshop devoted to Molière. Over five sessions, we'll tear into some scenes from Tartuffe, The Miser, The Misanthrope, possibly Don Juan and Scapin—fresh American adaptations that Steven co-wrote and performed. Molière was first and foremost an actor. He loved actors. He wrote specifically for his company of actors, whose lives were the theatre 24/7. He was incendiary, hilarious, provocative, and philosophical; also ridiculous, muscular, brutal, immediate, and profoundly human. A tragedian trapped in a comedian's body and mind. His characters are pure joy for the actor—inviting and demanding boundless invention, wild interpretation, and exuberant play. We'll work scripts in hand, moving towards off-booked-ness as we go. We'll paraphrase, improvise, change it up, play any and all parts—casting ourselves across gender, age, and type. There's no right or wrong here, but we'll be looking for the truth of that moment where the comic and the tragic live in each other's arms. Sessions run Wednesday and Friday afternoons, 1:00–4:00pm. About Steven Epp Steven Epp is an actor and writer based in Brooklyn, New York and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Steven was the co-Artistic Director of Theatre de la Jeune Lune, winner of the 2005 Tony award for Best Regional Theatre. In his 25 years with Jeune Lune, Steven collaborated on the creation and performance of over 50 productions. Steven has been seen in New York and throughout the United States. He has played lead roles in everything from Hamlet, The Miser, Tartuffe, Figaro, and The Servant of Two Masters to Fiddler on the Roof, Treasure Island, and The Lorax. For Jeune Lune, Steven co-authored Children of Paradise, shortlisted for the 1993 Pulitzer Prize, and winner of the Outer-Critics Circle Award for best new play.

We will work with image, tempo, form, and movement. The technique teaches us to rely on our physicality and our image life to give us insight into our characters, such as physicalizing our objectives so that they don’t remain an intellectual exercise, but instead are an embodied experience. Chekhov believed that inherent in every actor is the desire for transformation, and he set out a method that is playful, imaginative, safe, healthy, creative, and accessible to anyone truly looking to experience themselves differently. Sessions run Saturday and Sunday, 10:00am-3:30pm and Monday from 10:00am-1:00pm. About Bethany Caputo Bethany Caputo studied at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1997 where she was introduced to the Chekhov Technique. She is the Artistic Director of Chekhov Studio NYC. She has taught for the Graduate Acting and Directing programs at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, NYU Grad Acting, Michael Chekhov Association (MICHA), the Michael Chekhov School of Acting, Terry Knickerbocker Studios, The New York Drama Center, and The New School. Bethany has also taught internationally at the University of the Arts in Zurich, Shanghai Theatre Academy in China, Victoria College of the Arts in Australia, and the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney.

Company Workshop Timothy Douglas: Freeing the Natural Actor 3-Day Workshop Dates & Times Monday, June 15, 2026 – 10:00am-2:00pm Tuesday, June 16, 2026 – 10:00am-2:00pm Wednesday, June 17, 2026 – 10:00am-2:00pm Houghton Hall, 22 East 30th Street About the Workshop Director, actor, and educator, Timothy Douglas, joins The Actors Center for the first time for a 3-day workshop devoted to deepening awareness, presence, and authentic expression through spoken text. In our efforts to expand the efficient and authentic use of our training and performance experience, many of us can find ourselves engaging the process like a fish swimming in the ocean looking for the water. Genuine advancement and deepening of individual process begin when old patterns are no longer unconsciously engaged. This work does not require added effort, but simply renewed attention and awareness. Through in-the-moment investigation of mind, body, and breath consciousness, this workshop invites actors to reconnect with a more centered and organic truth, expressed dynamically through heightened language. Drawing on foundational principles from Kristin Linklater’s Freeing the Natural Voice, participants will explore a fuller appreciation of creativity, presence, and self. Participants will be asked to bring in 8-10 memorized lines of Shakespeare verse from a play (or other heightened language text)—ideally new to the participant. About Timothy Douglas Timothy Douglas is a stage director, actor, and educator whose recent directing credits include Primary Trust with McCarter Theatre/Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, the world premiere of She Who Dared with Chicago Opera Theater, Nina Simone: Four Women at Arena Stage, An Octoroon at NIDA (Sydney), and Blue with New Orleans Opera. Upcoming: the world premiere of Safronia with Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Sally and Tom at Roundhouse Theatre. He is a Linklater-designated voice instructor who has taught voice, scene study, and directing at American Conservatory Theater, Emerson College, Juilliard School, the Theatre School at DePaul University, University of Southern California, Yale School of Drama, Birmingham School of Acting (UK), and Toi Whakaari (New Zealand Drama School). Representative productions include The Color Purple at Signature Theatre (Helen Hayes Award for best musical), the U.S. premiere of Natasha Gordon’s Nine Night at Roundhouse Theatre, Champion with Boston Lyric Opera, the premiere of Something Happened in Our Town with Children’s Theatre Company, the U.S. premiere of Tristan Bernay’s adaptation of Frankenstein at Classic Stage Company, Richard II with Shakespeare & Company, Brönte Off-Broadway, and the Great Theatre of China’s production/tour...
