ONGOING Scene Study CLASS, LOS ANGELES
The Character Project is the ongoing scene study class for Peter Blackburn Studio L.A.
Numbers are capped so that actors work EVERY week.
The Character Project
The Character Project is a scene study class designed to help you create authentic, compelling characters using a combination of Stanislavsky-inspired practices, Laban movement work, Yat Malmgren character analysis, and archetype exploration.
You’ll learn a practical, repeatable process that you can apply immediately in auditions, rehearsals, and performances, so your work feels grounded, specific, and alive — each and every time.
If you’ve been feeling…
- Stuck in familiar habits
- Unsure how to make bold physical choices on camera or stage
- Disconnected from the text, your impulses, or your inner life
- Ready for a deeper, more embodied approach to character
The Character Project offers a space to stretch, refine and transform your craft.

MY TEACHING STYLE
With a background in both teaching and directing, I offer a disciplined, industry-ready approach without sacrificing the joy of acting. My work draws from a range of respected techniques, all designed to help you get out of your head so you can fully inhabit your body.
Every actor brings a unique combination of strengths, instincts and lived experience. That individuality matters. My aim is to build on what makes you distinct, guiding you toward deeper self-awareness and stronger creative choices, while staying grounded in the belief that our work ultimately serves the story.
If you’re ready to challenge yourself, deepen your process and rediscover the thrill of transformation, we’d love to welcome you!

Peter Blackburn is a highly regarded acting coach, theatre maker, and film director.
Earning a Master’s in Directing from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), one of Australia’s premier drama schools, he went on to establish himself as a prolific director in Melbourne’s vibrant theatre scene.
He later earned the coveted Mike Walsh Fellowship for Directing through the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA—alma mater of Cate Blanchett and director, Baz Luhrmann), where he also taught, and used the award to further his craft in the UCLA filmmaking program.
With additional degrees in Literature, Film, and Education, Peter’s work is deeply informed by cinematic influences — so much so, he jokes he could write a thesis on all the film influences that have shaped his teaching.
As an acting teacher, Peter has served on the faculty of world-class Australian acting institutions NIDA, VCA, 16th Street Actors Studio, and The National Drama School. He also had the great joy of collaborating on the play Holding the Man with his mentor, acclaimed acting coach Larry Moss.
