ABOUT THE STUDIO
The AWA Lab offers a new approach to acting training where psychology meets performance.
Founded by Alina Chernysh, an actress based in Toronto with international training in Dubai, Los Angeles, and at Cours Florent in Paris - and currently represented by Ritter Talent Agency - the studio bridges artistic craft with psychological awareness to help actors access truth, depth, and transformation in their work.
Training at the studio is consistent and ongoing. Weekly in-person adult classes in Toronto provide actors with structure and growth through a new topic and scene each session.
Kids’ classes (ages 6–10) inspire creativity, confidence, and emotional intelligence through storytelling and play.
Private in-person & Zoom coaching and specialized masterclasses are available year-round for actors who want to refine their craft, prepare auditions, or deepen their understanding of the acting process.
The AWA Lab is more than training. It is an ongoing exploration of self, truth, and presence in performance.
