About workshop:

Express Yourself!

Acting classes for adults

Warsaw (see other workshops in Polish)

Do you want to start your adventure with theater but don’t know how to begin? Do you want to awaken your hidden creativity? Or perhaps there’s too much stress or boredom in your life, and you’d like to break free from that “corset”? If so, we invite you to join our acting classes!

 

What are the Acting Classes?

Our English Theatre Workshops combine the world of performance with the art of communication.
They’re designed for anyone who wants to develop confidence in speaking English, explore creativity, and express themselves freely through movement, voice and improvisation.

During the sessions, participants work with real theatrical tools — from acting exercises and improvisation to creative storytelling and body language — all in English. The goal isn’t perfect grammar, but authentic communication and artistic expression.

These workshops bring together international and Polish participants who want to practice English in a creative, supportive atmosphere. No acting experience is needed — just openness, curiosity, and a bit of courage to step on the “stage”.

You’ll leave each session with more confidence, new vocabulary, and a smile on your face!

 

Who are these workshops for?

These workshops are designed for both:

  • non-Polish speakers who want to find a creative and social space to express themselves through art in English,

  • and Polish speakers who wish to practice and improve their English in a natural, engaging, and theatrical environment.

No previous acting experience is required — just openness, curiosity, and a willingness to learn and have fun in a supportive atmosphere.
