At Peter Blackburn Studio, we offer an intensive program built on a foundation of kindness. I believe that actors shine brightest when treated as equals, in a space that champions creative growth rather than personalities. Students are encouraged to be rigorously playful and discover the joy that comes from self-discipline and mastery of craft.
With a background in both teaching and directing, I provide a disciplined, industry-ready approach without ever sacrificing the joy of acting. My methods draw from a variety of techniques — Stanislavsky-inspired practices, Laban movement work, Yat Malmgren character analysis, and archetype exploration — all designed to help you move out of your head and fully inhabit your body.
I recognize that every actor brings their own strengths, talents, and life experiences to the table — and that individuality matters. My goal is to build on what makes you unique and guide you on a journey of self-discovery, while staying grounded in the idea that our work serves something bigger than us.
