MASTER CLASS
Michael Cacoyannis Foundation
Registration is Open
Starts March 2025
For the new generation of actors, a career pursuit that includes Hollywood, London, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, HBO, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Disney is the natural consequence of global Mobility.
Greece aims to become the Hollywood of Europe, this has already been highlighted by the increase of international film and television productions in Greece in recent years, making Greece a European Hub. The production companies choose Greece for filming and therefore require talented English-speaking actors that can now participate in international productions.
Many Greek producers and directors are also making films in English, focusing their energies on the creation of “international” work and because of this development there is a growing demand for exceptional actors who can effortlessly perform in English and have the required professionalism to meet the demands of international productions.
Actors should aim to orient their careers at an international level therefore artists must have excellent acting training and knowledge of the professional requirements of major productions. The international recognition of Greek actors is something that pleases all of us and at IWA (International Workshops for Actors) we are committed to helping and activating Greek actors to find their rightful place on the international arena.
