Memoir Writing

I’ve always loved writing letters. Sometimes big dramatic ones, at times small everyday things. I’ve love how it feelto sit down and actually say something properly, instead of just thinking it or typing it quickly. This is a small space built around that. We meet, pick someone we have in mind, and write them a letter. It could be anything — a thank you, something you’ve been meaning to say, or even something simple you didn’t realize you wanted to put into words. You don’t have to share or send it. It doesn’t even have to be “good.” Honestly, it’s just a bit of time to sit, write, and see what comes up. If you like quiet spaces, or been wanting to try something little different, you might enjoy this space.

**\*This is a *paid* event. RSVP on Meetup is not enough — to confirm your place, please complete your registration through our website.\*** “The improviser has to be like a man walking backwards. He sees where he has been, but he pays no attention to the future. His story can take him anywhere, but he must still ‘balance’ it, and give it shape, by remembering incidents that have been shelved and reincorporating them.”” – Keith Johnstone Improv that focuses on narrative tries to tell a story that has a complete arc from beginning to end, a story that elicits not only laughter, but an emotional response. This course will teach you how to create compelling narratives on stage. We will explore various techniques and formats that bring the audience to the edge of their seats in laughter, fear, expectation, and anticipation. This course is for you if you have completed ‘Don’t Panic’ and you want to focus on how to create a narrative structure on stage with your fellow improvisors.

WA: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FWRfxRrzFg6EP4e7cIwGjX?mode=gi_t Get ready to step into the room where real work happens. The 24 Actor's Journey is a weekly training workshop built for anyone who wants to dig into the craft of acting and walk away a sharper, more present, more expressive human being. Whether you have years of experience or you're just starting to take this seriously, this space is designed to meet you where you are and push you further. Each session is three hours of hands-on practice, four times a month. We work the full instrument, meaning body language, physicality, movement, use of space, and vocal training all get equal attention alongside the internal work. You won't just be reading lines, you'll be training the whole self that shows up to deliver them. The approaches we draw from read like a who's who of acting methodology. Meisner, Adler, Uta Hagen, Strasberg, Laban, Michael Chekhov, Lecoq, Viewpoints. But none of this is taught as dry theory. It's all put into practice, explored in the room, and felt in the body. That's the only way any of it actually sticks. Over time, the work goes deeper. We get into character development, script analysis, monologues and scenes, stage fright, vulnerability, listening, and emotional expression. These aren't just acting skills. They're human skills, and the people who train them consistently are the ones who grow the fastest. The 24 Actor's Journey is a place to keep showing up, keep training, and keep building something real. If you've been looking for a space that takes the craft seriously and also makes the process genuinely exciting, this is your invitation to come find out what you're made of.

The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
