ABOUT
“Let it do you. You don’t do it.”
Artistry is the practice of presence and attention. When you are fully available, fully prepared, and fully listening — something extraordinary happens. You enter flow. You respond instead of perform. You stop planning how it should look and begin living what is actually happening.
That’s The Actors Awakening.
HELLO!
We're Kat and Evan
For over ten years, Kat and Evan have been devoted to bringing artistry and spirituality together in a grounded, practical, and deeply human way. Not in theory — in the work.
Acting as a Practice of Presence
The Actors Awakening began over a decade ago with a simple but radical idea:
What if acting wasn’t about tactics, manipulation, or “how to look good”…
What if it was a spiritual practice?
Many programs teach actors to strategize their way through a scene — move and counter-move, tactic after tactic.
We believe something different.
Acting is not about controlling the moment.
It’s about being prepared enough to not know what’s going to happen.
The work is in:
- Deep preparation
- Clear listening
- Emotional availability
- Courage to respond truthfully
Not performing to impress — but performing from truth.
When actors stop trying to “do it right” and start responding to what is actually happening, their work becomes alive, believable, and magnetic.
Between us, we bring over 20 years of professional performance experience and decades of training in:
Performance
- Meisner Technique
- Audition Technique
- Scene Study
- Movement
- Voice
- Dance
- Mastery Work
We’ve studied with respected teachers including Larry Silverberg and Ted Whittall, and we continue to evolve our craft.
But technique alone isn’t the point.
Technique prepares you.
Presence makes you unforgettable.
What Happens in Our Classes...
Students experience profound “a-ha” moments — realizing that all their preparation allows them to show up spontaneous and alive. They become more confident. Their work becomes more believable. They book more auditions. And perhaps most importantly — they begin to feel like artists.
In our classes, students gain confidence, learn solid structure, and rediscover play. They stop trying to be funny and start telling the truth — and that’s where the real laughter lives.
When someone walks into class nervous, they leave grounded.
The energy is curious, warm, and nurturing — with discipline when it matters. There is always a spiritual edge, but never pretense.
The Artists We’re Here For
Our space is for those who:
Are motivated by artistry, not fame
- Want a tangible way to work
- Are ready to be brave
- Want to be emotionally available
- Care deeply about the craft
Beginners and experienced actors alike thrive here, if they are willing to be present.
Beyond the Stage
This work changes more than performances.
Students often tell us it changes how they approach life itself.
Because when you learn how to be present, how to listen, how to respond instead of control, you don’t just become a better actor.
You become more alive.

The Actors Awakening course changed the way I think about my approach to everything in life both acting and otherwise. They give you the tools to own the space and to be brave and unassuming about what might happen and live in the moment of what “is” happening right in front of you!! Kat and Evan are just amazing people to be around! Their guidance is beautiful and I couldn’t ask for better tutors!! Thanks guys!!"
