8 WEEK VIRTUAL SCENE STUDY Workshop Now Open For Enrollment
Acting WorkshopsI offer in-depth acting workshops throughout the year to help you keep your instrument sharp. This includes a monthly workshop series based on availability, and every so often a 6- or 8-week Workshop Intensive.
I structure my acting workshops to give each actor the individual attention they need. You will work with a small group of 8 - 10 people, within a 3 to 4 hour time slot depending on the number of people enrolled. My workshops are open to both professional actors and recent graduates. |
"Chantal pushes me to stay focused, alert, and connected without getting caught up in an emotional mire. Definitely recommend working with her. She'll work just as hard as you do." - Andrew Saunders, Actor

"What I appreciated most about Chantal Jean-Pierre's acting workshop was her remarkable ability to help guide/allow the actor to discover a distinct/fresh way of interpreting a monologue. Her transparency and genuine care for working with each actor naturally displayed her extensive knowledge, passion, and experience in this wonderful business." - Cecil Powell, Actress

BIPOC MONOLOGUE CLASS
(Offered Summer 2020)
"During this very racial and social time of injustice I imagine many artists need a safe place and a safe space to express themselves around others who understand and empathize with their plight. One way that I embark on the journey of healing during this time is by embracing and celebrating my identity through my craft as an artist; doing so allows me to feel empowered.
"What’s the purpose of art or more specifically ACTING if not to illuminate humanity? We as actors are fortunate to have a body of work of writers, present and past, that encapsulate what we may be feeling at this very tenuous time. We are able to find that timeless excerpt within a play that magically speaks directly to our pain. This then allows us to speak to power and stand fully within who we are and what we believe.
"I am creating a new Online Zoom Monologue Class for BIPOC Artists only. I invite you to join me every Monday, starting July 13th - August 31st from 5 - 7 pm to unabashedly and passionately express your fears, pains, worries, rage, sorrows or otherwise using any piece of text, play or monologue of your liking.
"This is a dual opportunity that allows you a gateway into your craft and a means to sharpen your skill in order to continuously blossom as an artist. I will support and guide you and together we will shape your piece into a beautiful and useful work of art. No matter the style, contemporary or classical, bring the text that speaks to you the most and I will provide you any missing tools to lift it off the page, place it into your heart, and put it forth into the world as a beacon of hope."

SHAKESPEARE MONOLOGUE CLASS
(Offered Spring-Summer 2020)
"Given our very unsettling and precarious time in quarantine I thought I might make an offer to those who are interested in keeping their acting instrument sharp.
"This would be a 'pay what you can' Shakespeare monologue online class which can later develop or progress into scenes—if you so desire. This online class will be held every Friday from 5pm - 7pm (ends August 28th). This would be completely generated by YOU so please bring your own material. Make sure your material is a piece you are eager to sink your teeth into."
