THE MAX - Stretching the Limits of Your Self-Expression
with PAULA SHAW The MAX is an outrageous voyage through your own humanity—a journey to turn yourself inside out and explore the extent of your self-expressive power. It employs a variety of acting, communication, and observation methods designed to expand your limits "to the max" and move you into a new arena of personal creativity and self-expression.

The MAX is extremely challenging. Participants must commit to a rigorous exploration of the sources of their emotional limitations. Seminar hours are longer than usual early in the week (and shorter later in the week). Participants work individually in front of the room, playing to and with other group members. There are exercises that use raw emotion, role-playing, and "dress-up" assignments.

This is an opportunity to experience yourself in a way you may have dreamed about but never imagined possible. The game is risk. The premise: You're either daring or dead. This course is not for the faint of heart, but it is full of heart, humor, and irreverence, constructed with the understanding that this kind of risk taking requires a very safe workspace. If your heart beats faster when you think of taking this workshop, then maybe it's just the thing to do.

Please note: Due to the intense and sequential nature of this workshop, attendance at all sessions is necessary.

Paula Shaw, a professional actress and acting teacher for over 25 years, conducts workshops in expanding self-expression, well-being, and creativity for non-actors across the United States and Canada and and now, for the first time, here in Germany.

She was a protégé of the legendary actress, teacher, writer and director Uta Hagen and is a lifetime member and current moderator of the Actors` Studio in Los Angeles, California.

She has taught at CAL ARTS and the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute of Los Angeles and is a workshop and work scholar leader at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California.

She currently acts, writes and teaches in Vancouver and Los Angeles.
