Acting Workshops
Hollywood-style training
Cozmikk offers Hollywood-style training for actors, with a focus on foreign actors residing in China. While the acting school market is crowded, we stand out by specializing in training foreign talent. Despite a smaller market share, our unique focus means we face minimal competition.
With 10s of thousands foreigners in Beijing alone, the potential demand is significant. Our students range from ordinary people starting their acting journey to some of China’s top foreign talent already working alongside A-list actors. All of them train and develop their craft through our weekly workshops.
Foreign actors in China
Foreign actors have been integral to Chinese cinema since the late 1980s, and the need for professional actors who can match China’s top stars has never been higher. While it's common knowledge that entry barriers for foreign actors in China are relatively low, simply landing a role is different from adding value and quality to a project. Local producers and filmmakers are increasingly frustrated with foreign actors who lack acting skills. They seek talented performers who can enhance their projects, not worsen.
In-house curriculum
We address the demand for skilled foreign actors by providing comprehensive training that elevates performances and enriches the Chinese film industry.
Our Western acting workshop's content is created completely in-house with both custom scripts and lessons. We also use selected scenes from TV shows and movies for practical experience.
After each performance, actors receive constructive feedback, fostering continuous improvement and preparing them for real-world acting scenarios.

Fundamentals Workshop
An on-camera acting workshop focusing on Western acting techniques. Each workshop offers all students the opportunity to act in front of the camera using the standard Hollywood audition setup and get immediate feedback from the coaches. But that’s not all, each workshop also includes a hand-curated lesson designed to expand every actor’s knowledge base and tool belt. Here you will learn from Kent S. Leung, Karl Dominik and other veteran actors, experienced in both Western and Eastern acting styles, who will reveal the techniques that the professionals use to hone their acting skills.

In Depth Performance Workshop
The next level: Each workshop not only offers all students the opportunity to perform multiple times on camera but also includes a dedicated time with the teachers to watch and breakdown the performance tapes right there and then. Through the process of watching and reviewing the performance tapes together with our teachers, each student will get exclusive access to detailed insight into where their weaknesses lie, to how they can improve their performances from moment to moment and to the secrets on taking their craft to the next level.
