Veteran actress and film producer Malou Crisologo, who is dubbed as “coach to the stars,” will be launching her first ever The Artista 101 acting workshop this coming May and June.

The acting workshop will run for seven days, scheduled on May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31. The remaining two days will be on June 7 and 8.  

Open to interested participants aged 18 to 30, it will be held at 901 studios in Richbelt Tower in San Juan City.  

Malou said in a press release that the said initiative is her way of “giving back” to the industry that served as her home for several years. 

“This is my way of giving back,” shares Malou. “I’ve been in the industry for quite some time—as a producer, actor, and coach. I want to help those who are just starting, and even those who’ve already begun but are looking for direction.”

 According to the press release, participants can expect to learn beyond the basics of acting as they will be guided on how to navigate the complexities of show business.  

“The seven-day program is designed not only to teach acting fundamentals but also to guide aspiring actors, content creators, and influencers through the complex landscape of the entertainment industry,” it said. 

“Beyond acting techniques, participants will gain valuable insights into character preparation, script breakdown, and the inner workings of showbiz,” it added.  

The acting workshop will feature four experts in the entertainment industry namely Derick Cabrido, an award-winning filmmaker; Noreen Capili, a film, TV, and book writer who is a recipient of Palanca Award; Marty Argarin, a marketing expert; and Van Cruz, a branding and strategy expert.  

Participants will be getting inputs from industry experts on topics like storytelling, actor-director collaboration, character creation, script understanding, building social media presence, and the importance of personal branding.  

Malou’s acting workshop is in collaboration with Rizz Marketing PH.  

In their promotional post, Rizz PH announced that the workshop only has limited slots.  

Malou made a short appearance in the ongoing television series FPJ'S Batang Quiapo, playing the role of a maid named “Pacing.”
