Transformation.

A progressive, in-person journey from authentic emotion to embodied character to integrated monologue and scene work.

Your body already knows what emotions are. PEM is the method that removes what’s in the way — and teaches you to access it with precision, safety, and repeatability.

What Actors Are Saying

Results that speak
for themselves

Intensive 3
“PEM has been the only acting class that I’ve wanted to stick with since I finished at Yale. It’s some of the best training out there. Since working with Sarah Victoria, I’ve booked some big jobs — and I think I owe a lot of that to PEM.”
Carter Gill Actor, Director & Movement Instructor
Intensive 2
“It was like my body became a map. I could simultaneously trust the emotions in my body, and was also constantly surprised by the sensations, impulses, and voice that followed. My character emerged quite naturally.”
Cam Frontain Actress

Intensive 3

“I have never found a better acting technique that has allowed me to fully become a character with such depth, ease, specificity and nuance within the performance”
