ONGOING ACTING CLASSES IN LOS ANGELES
The Character Project is the debut ongoing weekly class for Peter Blackburn Studio L.A.
A combination of intensive scene study, skill development, and technical training.
Numbers are capped so that all actors work EVERY week.
The Character Project
I'm thrilled to bring my process-driven approach to character creation and scene work to Los Angeles full-time.
With a background in both teaching and directing, I provide a disciplined, industry-ready approach without 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.

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.
