Caren Adorni

Caren Adorni is an international acting coach, story consultant, and creative mentor working at the intersection of craft, philosophy, and embodied intelligence. She holds a master’s degree in Theater from UCLA and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy.


For over two decades, she has supported actors, writers, and creatives in cultivating presence, emotional truth, and narrative clarity. Her academic foundation bridges technique, philosophical inquiry, and somatic awareness, and her classes have been accredited at New York University.


Caren has taught and directed throughout the United States and Europe in university settings, conservatories, theater ensembles, and international festivals. Her work is grounded in the understanding that creative expression emerges most fully when the intellect, imagination, and body are in dialogue. Her approach invites actors, writers, and creatives to reconnect with the body as a source of intelligence, authority, and meaning.

Teaching Philosophy


Actors are crafted storytellers.


Actors use their craft to express the complexities of what we call the human condition. 


However, an actor needs much more than craft. An actor needs empathy. 


I have found that it can be difficult to teach empathy. 


But I have also found that through encouraging actors to look at others’ lives, their triumphs and their struggles, empathy can be cultivated. 


Through this new way of seeing, I’ve witnessed actors make that courageous leap from egocentrism to altruism. It is an embodied experiential leap, not a theoretical leap. 


When this happens, an actor’s work is forever changed.

Student Reflections

READ ALL

I had studied acting for years, but my first class with Caren opened my eyes to the possibility of what I could achieve as an artist. Her ability to be firm yet comforting, allowed me to open up and explore characters I never thought I would be able to play. Caren teaches with an intuitive nature ..
