The workshop that will provide you with practical tools for deepening characters, creating authentic dialogues, and developing captivating plots.
The ability to think like an actor and bring characters to life can elevate your writing to new levels and enrich your texts.
Through acting techniques, we will learn to understand the emotions of the characters and the human dynamics between them, which will enhance your writing and add a vibrant, authentic dimension to it.
Using improvisation exercises, we’ll “shake up” and strengthen your creative muscle, much like warm-up exercises before a run.
Why Should Writers Learn Acting?
Written text is just one layer in building a character.
How does the character I’m writing feel? What do they look like, how do they move? How do they speak?
The internal imagery, words, and expressions are very important, but they must be integrated with the physical and emotional actions of the character in order to write and create a full and deep character.
In this workshop, we will learn how to explore the character from the inside out, just like actors do, beyond the written words, and find ways to deepen and bring the character to life.
We will use acting techniques to uncover the physical and emotional aspects of the character, learn how to expand our imagination, and allow the imagery to burst forth and become a living, breathing reality.
This workshop is intended for writers who want to understand their characters deeply and bring them to life in an authentic, profound, and emotional way.

I came to Maya for performance coaching for a music concert I was doing. I've had coaching before and with mixed results. Maya is by far the most creative and talented coach I've ever worked with. She brought out emotions in me I didn't know I had, and was able to help me reach something I couldn't achieve on my own. She was compassionate, patient, and knew the exact right buttons to push to get the best out of me. When showtime came, I completely trusted her and felt so much more confident because of it.
I came to Maya with a "camera shyness" that prevented me from shooting marketing videos for my business. Maya's warmth, care, and professionalism shine through even on Zoom, and I already felt the improvement after the first online session.
Maya addresses sensitive points and provides exercises to help overcome them. The process is not yet complete, but after several sessions, I already feel more liberated and express myself with much more confidence in front of the camera. I highly recommend her!
