The Demidov School Unlocked Returns: 2026–2027 Online Weekend Masterclass Season
The Demidov Association is pleased to announce the 2026–2027 season of our popular online weekend masterclass series, THE DEMIDOV SCHOOL UNLOCKED, led by Professor Andrei Malaev-Babel.
This series offers focused two-day immersions into Demidov’s organic psycho-technique. Each weekend is dedicated to a specific Demidovian “culture”—an inner condition that strengthens creative freedom, involuntariness, and truthful life in character. Enrollment is intentionally limited to preserve a high-touch studio environment and individual attention.
First Weekend of the Season
THE DEMIDOV SCHOOL UNLOCKED: Practicing the Culture of Faith in Yourself
Sat–Sun, August 22–23, 2026 | Online via Zoom
Class Times: 1:00–4:00 PM (New York) | 10:00 AM–1:00 PM (Los Angeles) | 6:00–9:00 PM (London)
In the Demidov School, Faith in Yourself is not wishful thinking or “confidence.” It is a tangible, trainable creative condition: the actor’s ability to trust the living process as it unfolds—without censoring, correcting, or forcing results. Through guided practice, participants strengthen this capacity so creative individuality becomes stable and reliable.
