At JazzAct Studios, we envision a dynamic community where actors of all levels hone their craft through the transformative power of jazz-inspired acting techniques. Led by acting coach Ashton J. Ross, a seasoned stage actor with over two decades of experience, we embrace a cerebral approach to acting that transcends traditional methods.
Our vision is to cultivate a space where actors delve deep into the nuances of character development, using context and imagination to breathe life into every role. Drawing from Ashton's expertise in nuanced dramatic performance and characterization, our classes focus on crafting authentic narratives that resonate with both the performer and the audience.
We believe in the art of improvisation and spontaneity, akin to the fluidity of jazz music. Our method encourages actors to embrace the fundamental rules of acting while exploring the endless possibilities for creativity. By activating the full physical form and delving into the essence of each character, we enable actors to inhabit roles with depth and authenticity.
