Our Signature Training Philosophy
The Seen Method isn't about memorizing lines. It's about presence-first acting training your nervous system to be calm, your voice to resonate, and your emotions to flow freely.
Developed by Cristian Bajora through 15 years of training non-actors, The Seen Method integrates:
Somatic awareness (body as instrument)
Voice liberation (breath, resonance, projection)
Emotional permission (access feelings without judgment)
Structured improvisation (trust instinct within form)
Public witnessing (performance as shared ritual)
"Acting is not about pretending. It's about revealing. The Seen Method teaches you to be seen — fully, honestly, powerfully." — Cristian Bajora
