I really enjoyed going at it from action-first, and it is extremely valuable for some actors whose performance it will transform.

The Founder
Why Monnarc exists.
For years, I met people who had always wanted to become actors but didn't know where to begin, or had already begun and realised they were still searching for something more. Some wanted a more structured beginning than a theatre group could offer. Others weren't ready for a conservatoire.
I kept seeing the same gap. A place where people could discover acting, build the right foundations, and finally understand the craft with clarity.
That place didn't exist.
So I built it.
If you've always felt drawn to acting and you're ready to begin or begin again the right way, this is where you start.

The Technique
Imagination. Circumstances. Action. Truth.
Most actors spend years performing without fully understanding what they are actually doing in a scene. At Monnarc that changes. We work on truthful behaviour rather than showing emotion, using given circumstances, imagination and playable actions as the tools that make that possible. The approach is inspired by the work of Stella Adler.
At Monnarc, these principles are taught through Verónica Coronel's own teaching approach, shaped by seven years of directing, teaching and working with 300+ students. Every exercise, scene and class is designed to give you practical tools you'll carry into every role you play.
You learn to use your imagination. You learn to understand the given circumstances of a scene: where you are, who you are, what has just happened, and what you want. You learn to pursue clear, purposeful actions that are fully justified by the circumstances. When those elements come together, truthful behaviour follows naturally.
Everything is taught in plain language, in small groups, from the very first day. Whether you are new to acting or have performed for years, you only need the willingness to grow.
What participants say.
More professional and better tailored than other workshops I've attended, the exercises were focused and adapted to where each person actually was.
Yasemin F.We could see how different actors use different actions to tell the same message. That really stayed with me, finding that sweet spot of really being a great actor in a scene.
