The masterclasses are taught in a warm, truthful, humoristic and direct manner. Kirk encourages artists to fully be who they are while realizing their full potential.

Kirk made me rethink my craft as an actor…I left his workshop with an excitement I have not had in quite some time. His teaching has given me tools to move forward with greater confidence and a deeper connection to my true self. I very much look forward to his returning to Oslo!
– André Softeland, Actor

Kirk’s workshop is a must! He creates a safe and trusting environment and has helped me to better understand who I am as a person and an actor. I now enjoy my craft even more! I’ve been acting for 30 plus years and Kirk is without a doubt the best coach I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Always look forward to his returning to Stockholm.
