About

'out of comfort zone’ acting and performance classes with Labros Filippou

Los Angeles - NYC - Athens

A class about freedom of expression.

An exercise about trusting the center and empowering the instinct.

Breaking free of all techniques and beliefs about what that art form is. Acting is not about being smart. It’s about re-acting.

Open to artists of all levels, ages, genres, genders, ethnicities, and non artists.

• Body + Voice exercise

• Movement + Improv with text (Reverse Dramaturgy exercise)

• Scene study / monologue-dialogue / cold reading

• Breaking free from technique

Text work will be applied through Reverse Dramaturgy exercise.

Reverse Dramaturgy is an exercise about the revelation of the character through the relationship. The participants will walk naked and clean from all the pre-decided characteristics and behavioral elements of the role.

This revelation will dress the performer up with all that the here and now suggests.

Labros Filippou and the Out of Comfort Zone training reminds the participants of the very simple and substantial values of living. He provides an axis, a code that extends beyond creating and performing and can be applied to daily interactions. Labros guides and gives directions for the participant to apprehend the philosophy and develop themselves within it, with freedom and trust. I was surprised by the capacities of my own body being released and expanding in space. Outside the comfort zone, one is connected with their most intuitive and free self.

The workshop was a real life experience for me. It changed everything about my perception of music,acting and art in general. And most important, it changed me as a human being. I finally realised what freedom of expression really is, and I try to apply everything I learned and felt not only in my art, but my life in general.

Lampros has a unique gift for pushing his students to the boundaries of comfort, and setting them free in the classroom and beyond. Lampros inspires trust and confidence so that once you let go of your ego and artistic critic, and really allow yourself to dive deep, you know that he will navigate you through the chaos, and bring out the treasures you are meant to create. I highly recommend LFacting for anyone who wants to embrace the challenges of vulnerability, the sometimes uncomfortable truth of the present moment, and the combination of the two to reveal one’s most powerful artistic self. This is certainly a course for the daring.

These classes changed my entire approach not only for acting, but for my life. Everyone is always talking about being in the moment, but no one quite teaches you how to do that or what it’s real meaning is. Working with Labros did exactly that. He broke down all my preconceived notions about “playing a character” and turned it into a pure opportunity of reacting to the Here and Now. I highly recommend his class to everyone! Not just actors or artists.
