acting basics workshop for adults

Dear Maya
11 years ago I came to you by chance. I did a search for game workshops, and the first result was you.
Today, looking back, it is clear to me that it was not the hand of a web promotion company but the very hand of God!
That year, I graduated from a road teacher course that lasted two and a half long years and, so to speak, I entered the job market. But in fact I just said that I was out on the job market when in fact I refused all her advances. Stage fright paralyzed me and ate me up inside and took all my guts out, messed them up and put them back inside. Being a guide with stage fright is kind of like being a pistachian trapeze lullaby. If people are going to pay to see it, it's just to see him crash. So I came to you. I don't know if I really came to you to overcome stage fright or to find myself and my voice, but you gave me this and that.
The months I studied with you were months of internal process, maturation, maturing and surprisingly a lot of fun. I don't know if your workshop started the processes or if my coming to you was part of them.
All I know is that in a graduation class, which is a graduation performance, I shattered everything I knew about myself and my world, and burst into the air with a new light. From that moment, from that monologue from "Miss Julia", I lived my new life, in which I was no longer afraid, in which all the opportunities immediately opened before me, in which I took them all, in which I knew who I was and what I was.
In addition, in this life, I was and still am living in a stage. I live for the stage, every stage, I am filled with the experience that drives me like fuel and I hunt every opportunity to stand in front of an audience. My Achilles heel, the stage has become my greatest strength, my most prominent sign, and one of the pleasures to which I devote myself.
No matter what I do in my life, I will be just fine because I have what you gave me.
I remember a lot of love in your guidance, your presence in class, and your dedication to our group. I admired you for your emotional muscles, and your crazy eyes, with which you could express anything. anything really. I have had many teachers in my life. Good and experienced and inspiring. But you are the type that makes me proud to say "I was her student".
With love and gratitude, Helena Roth

Maya!! You are so stunning that everyone should know!!! Thank you for a crazy experience that will accompany me for the rest of my life; I had fun, developed, laughed, was challenged, experienced and met amazing people. You gave each of us the stage that suits him and made sure to always give us a good, pleasant and comfortable feeling - in every monologue, task or alliteration and all along the way. Thank you for an amazing course full of experiences and emotions, and more than anything, thank you for the stunning person you are and for the warm and loving attitude and the sense of endless companionship you instill throughout the course and beyond, Just thank you for everything !!❣️!! Love love love endless!

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.

Maya Behar is my regular answer when asked "how did it all start?". Dear Mia gave me for the first time the place and the tools to explore, try, dare and the blessed push to continue. She built a cohesive and supportive group of players that is so important to an actor. 10 years later I return to my lists and memories from there and use them at work again and again. Thank you very much Maya. Erez ben Ezra

Maya coached and guided me along my first music video clip for the songs 'Diamond' shooting day. She joined us for a long filming day and guided me and Gefen - the sweet girl who also played in the music video clip. Maya managed to get the best out of us out - inexperienced in acting at all... an authentic presence that fits the story, we really enjoyed ourselves while doing it, the atmosphere was creative, open and full of content, without words. Thank you very much dear, I recommend her very much!!

I participated in an acting workshop with Maya that focused on monologues while incorporating personal development aspects. What does that mean? It means that every time I stepped on stage, I felt seen by Maya, knowing she was there with me. She provided insightful feedback, creating a tremendously inclusive environment for each of us, resulting in significant personal growth. Mia's talent extends beyond acting; her ability to perceive the essence of each participant is truly remarkable. Whether you're new to acting or have prior experience, I highly recommend this workshop. It offers a transformative journey filled with laughter, tears, and shared experiences within a supportive group. Can't believe it's over!

I didn't miss a single meeting. The weekly sessions at the studio were what I was waiting for after a long week of routine. 3 hours of fun, of learning, of listening, of a lot of understanding and introspection, and above all an abnormal experience. I don't just recommend, it's an experience that I have to go through!

I wholeheartedly recommend Maya and her studio. It's an amazing and special name - it's already known to everyone 🙂 But I want to tell about a certain aspect that may not be so visible. Well, in some "mysterious" way, Mia managed to create a special atmosphere in her workshop, which contributed to the development of close personal relationships between the participants. I left the workshop with several new friends for life. This is no small matter. One could have expected that at the end of the workshop we would simply "part as friends" but thankfully deep ties remained, of course not with everyone but with enough people to make it clear that this is no accident. For that I thank Mia (beyond the obvious thanks for the workshop itself). Obviously she is "responsible" for it. The workshop is recommended for anyone looking for a special experience, "personal empowerment" if you will, and also - meeting new and interesting people.

So yesterday I finished a workshop of 20 sessions with Maya. It was a special, educational, empowering and very enjoyable experience (there is no shortage of difficulty, but that's part of the fun). Maya is an excellent teacher, attentive and empathetic, but also sharp and deep, a combination that allows her to lead each participant to get the best out of themselves. I'm very glad I did it and highly recommend it to everyone - certainly for those who have a burning passion for the game, but also for those who have something in them that is drawn to it but is hesitant and maybe even a little afraid. I wouldn't give it up!

Recommend from the bottom of my heart♥ At the beginning of my journey in the game world about 10 years ago I came to the beautiful and talented Mia. Always with a smile, always with patience, always with constructive and professional comments, I learned all the basics of standing on stage from her! From there I continued studying at "Goodman", a three-year acting school, and I always recommend her workshops with a smile and confidence 🙂

Three workshops One because I needed this place that is mine to be me in all my heart The second was to meet friends for life and celebrate life and star while turning thirty The third was a spontaneous decision out of a desire to be the spontaneous girl who plays the dramatic funny. Mia's workshops allow you to be who you are in all the cool colors of life It's fun.. and funny.. three hours a week of pure fun.

I started the workshop with Maya as a person who is terrified just by the thought of standing on a stage. Maya enriched my toolbox as an actor and as a person, empowered me all the way and didn't leave any of my colors outside the door. Her energy, sophistication and professionalism bring the right people to the workshop and I felt that I was enriched by all the participants who were with me. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience (twice, because I went back to this workshop again, and I would go back again and again). Highly recommend to any actress at any stage of her/his career and to any person whose stage is the source of their nightmares.

The first time I experienced the whole subject of acting, there is no doubt that Maya is so professional and talented that I simply enjoyed every lesson and moment with her! I learned a lot about myself and my abilities, I highly recommend it especially to those who have always wanted to experiment but never dared, It's time to dare 🤞🙏

I studied acting with Maya several years ago. It was pure pleasure, fun, experiential learning that gives tools that can be used in the future. highly recommend.

**Edited on 11.05.21** I started attending Maya's workshops about five years ago, and since then it's been hard to say goodbye. Her amazing abilities as a teacher and actress allowed me to be exposed to the world of the stage in a fun, challenging and fascinating way. The workshops were great times for me to unwind and escape to great places that only did me good - monologues, dialogues, a creative and routine-breaking online workshop, and an equally successful guest workshop led by Ido Mosery. Highly recommended and with a lot of love to anyone who is interested in trying it out, if not for the experience in the game, certainly for the experience

Maya Behar's acting workshop is a bright spot in my life. Theater was something that always fascinated me and intrigued me. Only at the age of 22 did I have the courage to jump into the cold water and sign up for a workshop. Happily, I won Maya. Maya accompanied me and taught me to bring who I am into the theater. According to her, our emotions and personality are what the audience is waiting for. The experience, the conversation and the warm accompaniment remain with me as a strengthening and shaping memory that goes forward with me. I was privileged to be moved, to be excited to learn and to experience a unique and powerful experience.

עשיתי אצל מיה כבר 3 סדנאות נהדרות עם אנשים מדהימים! זה קשה לתמצת את התהליך שעברתי בתקופה הזאת, התפתחתי בכל כך הרבה תחומים. תהליכים פנימיים וחיצוניים שאין לי רעיון באיזה סיטואציה אחרת הייתי רוכש אותם. החלק הכי טוב זה שאתה עובר אותם בצורה כיפיית וקלילה. למיה יש יכולת מופלאה להיות אמיתית, לא מתפשרת!! ויחד עם זאת רגישה וכזאת שנותנת לצמיחה הטיבעית לקרות כמעט מעצמה. אם אתם מחפשים מקום כיפי שפותח את עולם המשחק לקהל הרחב, אם אתם מחפשים קצת להסתכל פנימה ולהרגיש את עצמכם בכל מיני סיטואציות מאתגרות חדשות בסביבה תומכת, לכל הגילאים! ממליץ בחום לעשות את הסדנאות שמיה מציעה. 🤘🎉🤩

I finished a workshop, which took place for almost a year (corona, closures and isolations).
I learned to listen, to understand the other without words, and above all, to take off the masks.
Thank you Mia, for a different experience, fun but also challenging and profound in the worlds of emotion and expression.

Go study with Maya! The woman and the fire! From Maya I learned so much about presence in improvisation and at the same time about the total freedom you can find as an actress while working with a text. Recommend wholeheartedly

The online Course

I was lucky enough to participate in two monologue workshops, a dialogue workshop, an online workshop and a guest workshop "acting in front of the camera" by Maya and every time I was left wanting more. Beyond the fact that it is simply a pleasure, I learned a lot. I have accumulated a pool of valuable useful tools. I return again and again for humanity, professionalism, efficiency and a winning combination of seriousness and fun.
During the Corona period, to my great joy, an online workshop was just as fun, successful and effective as a live workshop. there is! 🙂🙏❤️

Maya has rich experience in acting and teaching acting and an understanding of subtleties and nuances, I participated in an acting workshop with her for several months which was both very enjoyable and educational and meaningful and included a part of improvisations and a part of working on monologues and performing in front of an audience at the end. I learned a lot from her. In addition, I recently experimented with a short online workshop that was enjoyable and fun. And besides, she's a great person (: I highly recommend both face-to-face workshops and Zoom workshops.

I participated in Maya's acting course with an emphasis on standing in front of a camera. The course was amazing! I learned a lot, the exercises helped to internalize the content, Maya's attitude, her inclusiveness and her ability to give everyone feedback simply made the course an experience! I met people there who went through the processes of a second life with Maya and I was happy to be a part of it. I have no doubt that we will see each other again!

I came to my first acting workshop at Maya's by chance a year and a half ago, and it was the beginning of a love story that continued 3 workshops later, and the end is not in sight at all... I discovered an empowering, educational, eye-opening and fun workshop - all thanks to Maya who creates a pleasant and accepting atmosphere, and makes everyone feel comfortable, relax and simply enjoy the experience. Happily, I also recently participated in an online workshop and I was really surprised to find that the experience remained the same even from a distance, the workshop was empowering, liberating and just as fun as the face-to-face workshops. warmly recommended!!!

I came to Maya with 'camera fear' which prevented me from shooting marketing videos for my business. Maya's warmth, care and professionalism are also transmitted through Zoom, and the improvement was felt from the first online meeting. Maya talks sensitively about problematic points and gives exercises that help overcome them. The process is not over yet, but already after several sessions I feel more liberated, and express myself much more confidently in front of the camera. Highly recommend!

Workshops for companies and organizations

We were looking for a constructive and fun activity for our group at work, and I received a warm recommendation about Mia and her improvisation workshop. And we got exactly what we were looking for - a really cool activity that made everyone laugh and get out of our comfort zones. Mia knew how to adapt the exercises themselves to the number of people (we were 20 people), and each exercise was different from the last, and gave us an amazing experience!

As a human resources manager, I am responsible for the development and progress of the employees in the company where I work. One of the employees shared that he felt great anxiety when he had to speak in front of people. We chose him to participate in Mia's workshop, we were looking for a way to help face this challenge that would be fun and experiential. This is compared to personal trainers or more technical workshops that focus on the subject. The employee very quickly began to show more confidence, he began to speak more slowly and clearly, his body language radiated more confidence and generally expressed his opinion more. I strongly recommend taking advantage of the workshop in order to promote the employees in this field which is so difficult and scares people, speaking in front of an audience.

We contacted Maya to hold a workshop on performing in front of a camera as part of a course for lawyers of the Legal Bureau of the National Insurance Institute. The lecture was professional, included relevant tips, demonstrations and a workshop. The participants donated from the workshop and received practical tools in performing in front of a camera. Cheers!!

After much thought, we decided to choose Mia Bacher to lead a Paragon workshop for women only, which was held as part of a vacation we produced for the women of the Israel Chemicals Company The choice of Mia was exceptional - both thanks to Mia's personal character that touches every heart, and also thanks to her talent for directing and standing in front of an audience Mia succeeds in conveying her special energy to the audience, and after a few minutes in the workshop you feel the magic passing through the audience, the calmness and the optimism It's fun to see how Mia feels her audience, manages to sweep it along with her, and all this while speaking at eye level and maintaining a captivating simplicity Name: Roni and Tal Lev, Contact Premium production company
