Scene Lab: The Art of Transformation with Darren Smith 

2 Day Introductory Workshop

Unlock the transformative power of your acting in Scene Lab: The Art of Transformation. This dynamic scene-study class is designed to help actors explore the alchemy of performance—where text meets imagination and character comes to life. Through practical exercises, guided exploration, and in-depth feedback, you’ll learn to uncover the emotional core of any scene, forge authentic connections, and bring truth and vitality to your work.

Whether you’re honing your craft or taking your first steps, Scene Lab is the place to experiment, grow, and discover your potential as an actor. The introductory two day workshop lays the foundation for upcoming regular Scene Lab sessions.

“I had always dreamed of traveling to the UK to study acting and learn from classically trained tutors. But in Berlin, I found an amazing opportunity to do just that without having to leave the country. I took a week-long acting course with Darren, and it was an incredible experience. His knowledge of the craft was outstanding—he introduced us to techniques from Rudolf Laban and Patsy Rodenburg, sharing insights that aren’t easy to find in Germany. – Darren created such a positive and fun environment in class that I felt completely free to explore my acting. I also made some great friends during the course, many of whom I’m still in touch with today. One highlight was working on a monologue together that I still use today for all my auditions. – When I later studied at drama schools in the UK, I realized just how much I had learned in that one week with Darren. What he taught us in a short time often took a whole semester to cover in school. Thanks to him, I felt so much more prepared and confident. – If you’re in Germany and want to learn acting from someone who’s classically trained and truly passionate, I can’t recommend Darren enough. It’s an experience that will stick with you!” – Kiana
