Seven offerings. Seven ways to come back to your craft.
As the year starts winding down, Broken Mirror is winding up! A brand new dedicated studio, seven offerings, and a season built for growth and discovery!
Below are this Fall season’s courses and opportunities.
Lucid Body Basics: Level 1 (4 weeks)
5:00–8:00pm · Oct 20 – Nov 10
Created by Fay Simpson, Lucid Body is a psychophysical training that invites actors to explore the interplay of Jungian psychology, yogic practice, and the chakra system. From NYU, Stella Adler L.A., and Juilliard, to London, Bangkok, Sydney, and Berlin it has become a trusted part of professional actor training both domestically and abroad. This four-week introductory course, taught by certified Lucid Body instructor Katherine Kahrs, offers a path toward self-knowledge, embodied truth, and sustainable practice.
The Non-Dominant Actor: Scene Study (5 weeks)
5:00-8:00pm · Oct 21 — Nov 18
More and more actors in Philadelphia are turning to the Non-Dominant Approach - not as a trend, but as a new way forward. Over five weeks, this scene study becomes a laboratory: exercises, monologues, and ensemble work open space to question habits and cultivate autonomy in craft. Rather than chasing results, you'll be guided into presence and practice, rekindling the joy that first drew you to the stage. The work is intentional, layered, and designed to sustain a process grounded in empathy, embodiment, and imagination.
The Non-Dominant Actor: Scene Study (5 weeks)
6:00-9:00pm · Oct 22 — Nov 20
Can’t make Tuesdays? We’re also running this 5-week Scene Study on Wednesday nights! Same training, same course, just a different evening option. Once you sign up, you’ll stick with that cohort for the full run.

Exploring Chekhov: Three Sisters (5 weeks)
Saturdays · 10:00am–1:00pm · Oct 18 – Nov 22 (No Class Oct 25)
Back by popular demand! This 5-week course is for actors who have previously trained in the Non- Dominant Approach and who wish to re-engage with scene work through the vivid, layered world of Anton Chekhov.
In this fall iteration of Broken Mirror’s “Exploring Chekhov” series, we’ll work exclusively from Three Sisters. Week one will be a full group reading of the play, followed by four weeks of NDA-based scene work.
Somatic Jam. (Ongoing)
Second Sundays · 10:00am–2:00pm ·
Somatic Jam is Broken Mirror’s monthly gathering for artists working in the mask. It’s a space to reconnect with your body, recharge your practice, and explore new territory alongside a community of fellow creators.
Next Session: November 9. 10:00am-2:00pm
November’s Somatic Jam becomes Brahe 101: Intro to Mask A special four-hour entry point into the Brahe Mask Method. Whether you’re stepping in for the first time or returning to refresh, it’s a chance to move honestly, expand your range, and reconnect with the core of the work.
Following Session: Dec 14. 11-2pm
December’s Somatic Jam is an exploration of will force and our comfort/discomfort with taking up space.
