ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
An immersive two-day workshop led by Yorgos Karamalegos, founder of Physical Lab, dedicated to cultivating presence and authenticity in performance. This work is a journey toward uncovering one’s most authentic self and embodying a free, uninhibited artistic spirit.
Through embodiment practices and deconditioning, participants explore presence while releasing ingrained acting habits. Actors are guided to shed societal and cultural conditioning, opening the door to a state of performance in which body, mind, emotion, voice, language, and instinct flow together in harmony.
The aim is simple yet profound: performance rooted in truth, and presence arising from one’s deepest essence.
SPECIAL THANK YOU
This Lab would not be possible without the dedicated efforts of Doris Tislar, who kindly invited Yorgos and Physical Lab to Tallinn. We are so grateful for her efforts to organize this special Lab and help broaden the reach of the work.

WHAT LABBERS ARE SAYING
"I was just about to give it all up, but this workshop has reminded me that I love this. That acting is simply part of me and my life and that it can be fun, cathartic, therapeutic, enlightening. That I can be as playful and joyful as I was when I was a child."
VICTORIA LOZAR
2025 PARIS MENTORSHIP
"I feel [like] a new actor was born. I feel more empowered, in control of my own tools and [...] in alignment to my true self.The space that Yorgos is allowing for our own inquires, research, also paves the way for autonomy and ownership in the work."
