Congrats people!

Please share your wins with me anytime. Your wins light me up.

Regardless if you FEEL (think) you’re not where you want to be – have no doubt your creative portal is opening to a new level.
Good things are coming your way.
You’ll see.

For me, I’m excited to start working on a new Netflix series that Scorsese is producing. Most of my scenes are with Oscar Isaac. Fun, scary, delicious. More on that in the coming weeks.

NOTE: This gig is impacting the Los Angeles Character Lab dates.
SO…
The course is moving to an AMAZING and enormous space in LA, JANUARY 22-24, 2027.
It’s gonna be an enormous creative boost to start 2027.

But first up is THE ART OF PLAY in NYC September 25-27, 2026.
I gotta say, I was called in to meet with the creative team for the Scorsese project.
I was nervous. But I got on the nervous train and used that energy to PLAY.
I have zero doubt that I got the job because of my willingness to jump in and play.

Honoring (dare I say mastering) The Art of Play is key to bringing YOU to your work.
So many acting techniques are designed to lead you to the place where eventually you (might) start playing in the moment.
This course will focus on play itself.
We’re gonna get right to the good stuff – not getting all in our heads hoping we can eventually be spontaneous and brilliant. Fuck that.
No need to torture ourselves with ‘doing it right’, or trying to fit into what ‘they’ want.
No – all we gotta do is PLAY.
That is what opens the magic creative monkey jumping portal.

Have no doubt – play is key for you non-actors as well!
Play is the magic sauce that blasts the doors to success wide open, regardless of your creative endeavor.

All players welcome!

The course is almost full up – so if you know ya want it – don’t miss out, Boo-boo.

Your pal,

Josh Pais
