Alongside Sahid, we have Actor, Psychology Major, and Professor Andrés Felipe, who has 15 years of acting experience and over 10 years of teaching experience. With his great passion and knowledge of acting techniques, including those of GROTOWSKI and BARBA, among others, as well as the development of a dynamic and cutting-edge academic curriculum, he contributes to the workshop by providing physical preparation and techniques that help the actor develop the right combination of mental, emotional, and physical intelligence in pursuit of achieving the desired synergy, an essential element for being a convincing actor.
We welcome you to an exciting journey into the world of dramatic art!

Our History
The Inspirational Nancy Millán
On March 8, 2008, we bid farewell to Nancy Millán Hernández, our beloved founder and talented actress, after her courageous three-year battle against lung cancer. Her legacy is a constant source of inspiration.
Despite the challenges, Nancy never ceased to shine in her passion: acting. Together with her husband and fellow actor, Miguel Sahid, they conceived the vision of providing a healthcare plan for all actors in South Florida. That vision continues to guide us today.
Furthermore, during challenging times, Nancy led an exciting theatrical production, “Cada Quien Su Vida” by Luis Basurto, under the banner of the Hispanic-American Actors Society.
Nancy Millán Hernández was more than a talented actress; she was a beacon of positivity. Her smile lit up lives, and her legacy inspires us.
Today, we honor her memory. Although Nancy is no longer with us, her influence lives on in every step we take. Each year, at our gala, we proudly award the Nancy Millán Award to outstanding women in the entertainment industry, celebrating her enduring impact on our industry and in our hearts. Join us on this inspiring journey!
