<p>Last October 16, <strong>Star Magic</strong> officially sealed a new partnership with <strong>Sightlines Actors’ Space</strong>, unveiling new opportunities. This acting workshop will maximize the use of various acting approaches, nurturing participants’ talents throughout the entire program. Star Magic Head <strong>Lauren Dyogi</strong> embraces this new opportunity for both established and rising artists in the company, elevating the “<strong>Tatak Star Magic</strong>” brand to a whole new level.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/36e8c649-d3a3-4757-b1fd-234ea45a7b54_463725127_18463977316047908_4167333389255992808_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Star Magic’s Head, Direk Lauren Dyogi (fourth from right) and Head of Finance Ed Capulong (second from right), with the team behind Sightlines Actors’ Space"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Star Magic’s Head, Direk Lauren Dyogi (fourth from right) and Head of Finance Ed Capulong (second from right), with the team behind Sightlines Actors’ Space<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Photo from @starmagicphils  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Through a newly signed collaboration, the skills of every artist are enhanced by leveraging greater emotional depth on the character they are playing, highlighting the use of the well-known <strong>Meisner Technique</strong>–a training method that outlines the difference between drawing emotions from real-life situations and imagination. This approach is widely used by Hollywood actors like  Tom Cruise, Sandra Bullock, and Timothée Chalamet.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0ac92bbe-af63-46fb-b0a1-7f340143ee29_463013771_18463977403047908_5789679037972364551_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Metro.Style</strong> asked Sightlines Acting Coach <strong>Alecx Lorica</strong> what they could offer aside from the Meisner Technique, especially for those who aspire to be actors and seek guidance from the <strong>Star Magic Workshop</strong>.
