Train in the Art of Authentic Acting

GILLES PLOUFFE TRAINING CENTER FOR ACTORS

A UNIQUE APPROACH TO ACTING

| Perfected by Gilles Plouffe, the only John Strasberg-recognized acting coach in Canada

After exploring the major techniques (Meisner, Adler, Uta Hagen), Gilles found in the Strasberg method what he was looking for. A realistic acting approach based on a simple yet powerful principle: the actor experiences the character from the inside, through an organic and authentic process. Today, he teaches his own version of this method, a privilege he shares with only three other coaches in the world.

As soon as you enter the studio, you feel Gilles' energy, a passionate man dedicated to passing on his art. Under his guidance, actors deepen and transform their performances. Some build careers here, others in the United States, or even in Europe. For many, this training has changed their lives. For the better.

OUR CLASSES

- Here, we simulate real life!

At Studio Gilles Plouffe, you learn to live the experience of your character from the inside, to engage personally with what they go through while you play.

The result? A more believable, more engaging, more authentic performance. But also a profound exploration of yourself. Because the foundation of this process is self-knowledge, the ultimate conduit to authenticity.

You develop as an artist while growing as a person. Quite an experience, isn't it?

I've known Gilles for over 20 years. I've seen him grow as an actor, director, producer, and teacher. Every time I work with his students in Montreal, their growth is evident. He shares my vision of the creative process. His work is well worth the effort for any actor who wants to excel.
