Acting Workshop PH
Explore the craft of acting while discovering, expressing, and becoming more of who you already are.
Mentoring actors and major stars since 1988
About Acting Workshop PH
At Acting Workshop PH, we believe that acting is more than learning how to perform. It is an invitation to discover, explore, and express what is already within you.
Led by industry veteran Malou De Guzman, who has mentored actors and major stars since 1988, our workshops use acting as a powerful tool for creative expression, self-discovery, connection, and personal growth.
Come as you are. No judgment. Explore what's within. Become better.
“As one strives to be a Good Actor, he also tries to become a Better Human Being; then he endeavors further and prays to become the Best at Being Human…”
The Core Philosophy
In-Urge-Y is the experience of discovering, exploring, and using the Creative Energy Within.
Urge.
Instinct.
Impulse.
To Be.
Then Become.
To become the You as a Character in a manuscript.
And through that experience, to become:
The Better You.
With character and integrity.
— Malou De Guzman
This philosophy is at the core of the Acting Workshop PH experience. Through acting, we learn to listen to what is within us, express it truthfully, connect with others, and discover possibilities beyond what we thought we could be.
