Theatre-Makers and Acting Teachers
based in NYC
Chiara and Valerio make unique actors, not just good ones.
They take talent, open it up, and see what it’s made of.
The Relationship Acting Method puts it back together.
"I’ve never experienced anything as deeply transformative as this before"
Mike D.
"I've never done something like this! Working with Chiara and Valerio taught me how to be great in front of a camera way more than anything I've ever done before in my life!"
Sara M.
The Relationship Acting Method
is composed of four essential steps:
MOTION AND EMOTION TRAINING
Exercises to train an actor’s awareness of their body and movements in space in light of the relationship between movement and emotion.
DRAMA INSTINCT
A series of exercises to develop an actor’s onstage instincts in relation to the space and to others.
MICRO-MOMENTS
Acting “micro-moments” means connecting the emotions to even the tiniest of movements or gestures. We use the Mask (which exists in many cultures all over the world) in a unique way, all our own.
THE CHARACTER AND THE TEXT
It is the culmination of each of the previous steps.
Over our years working together, we have discovered a deep knowledge of who we are and how we exist in the world. We hope we get the chance to bring that knowledge to you.
