Have you ever wondered what acting could teach you beyond performing on stage or in front of a camera?
The Actor’s Workout is a weekly group class created by FACTOR International Acting School and hosted at Luna House & Cowork in Cascais. Designed for actors, complete beginners, and non-actors alike, the class uses professional acting exercises to develop confidence, creativity, communication, presence, and self-expression.
Acting as a Tool for Personal Growth
Acting is much more than learning lines or playing a character. It can help you become more comfortable expressing yourself, speaking in front of others, listening with greater attention, and responding naturally in the moment.
During The Actor’s Workout, participants explore movement, voice, breath, improvisation, imagination, concentration, and partner exercises in a warm and supportive environment.
Each session is different, offering new opportunities to step outside your usual routine, connect with others, and discover a more expressive and confident version of yourself.
No previous acting experience is required. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to try something new.

The classes are led by Julia Monteon, founder of FACTOR International Acting School.
