Acting Intensive m. Kirk Baltz
Mo., 3. Nov. 2025 - Do., 6. Nov. 2025
November 3-6 MUNICH:
„YOU’RE ENOUGH“
This Intensive will be rooted in allowing freedom to return. Telling “good, bad, right, wrong” to take a hike and inviting our primary emotions of feeling “mad, sad, glad, lonely, scared” to take hold and reveal what we are doing rather than “deciding” what to do.
Your actions become embedded choices rising from core emotions. All you need already resides within you.
Acting is doing…nothing exists without trusting our instincts.
How do we turn off critical thinking and respond truthfully? We quiet the mind, breathe deep, and drop into our emotional, physical feeling bodies. We surrender to our instincts and give ourselves permission to PLAY.
Show up with a 60-90 second monologue. Something from a classical or contemporary play. Maybe a piece from a favorite short story, the lyrics of a song…or from film or television. Please refrain from working with self-written material.
Send me your chosen monologue ASAP or let me know if you need help finding one. kirk@kirkbaltz.com
The first day of class, be fully off book. We will make discoveries with your monologue, then pair up and develop improvised scenes while working with text. A foundational technique for actors to embrace.
ON OUR FINAL DAY YOUR SCENE WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY SHOT TO CREATE A DEMO REEL OR ADD TO AN ALREADY EXISTING ONE
Gift yourself the experience of letting go of all you’ve held so precious and embracing all you’ve judged as meaning so little.
Rediscover FREEDOM…you’ve denied it long enough.
Reserve your spot today and join us.
With Care and Respect,
Kirk
*Discount please request via Email. Available for everyone who has participated at least once before at Kirk Baltz workshops, or if you are currently enrolled as a full-time acting student (please send us your proove via email).

FAQs
- In welcher Sprache wird gearbeitet bzw. muss ich Englisch wirklich perfekt können?
I do encourage folks to work in their mother tongue. There’s more of an internal connection that takes place and then the works can be taken to English if desired. I’m more interested in artists grabbing the essence of the work rather than being concerned with the linguistics. I don’t need to understand what’s being said. I’m looking for truth and conviction.
- Wird zusätzliche Arbeit zu Hause erwartet?
There might be minimal work on lunch breaks and to do at home in the evening. Simple review of scenes and perhaps a bit of writing…nothing arduous. Evenings are for resting and dreaming 🙂
