Do you want to improve your relationships? Learn how to deal with difficult people? Hone your acting skills by learning how to portray various characters, especially the ones who are not at all like you? Join Barb Turino and have fun exploring these questions. You'll learn how to identify your personality style, the styles of those you interact with and how to adapt to promote better relationships and performances.
Barb is an actor, director, trainer, coach and published author. Her book Getting Your Act Together explores how to use the skills and tools that the actor uses both on stage and on the real stage of everyday live. She believes that we are all onstage everyday with a role to play in the show called life, with an audience who will hopefully give rave reviews and demand encore performances.

In her year there, she dared herself to audition at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and was offered a slot in their school.
