CHAPTER

Cult-Like Dynamics in Acting Class

This chapter explores the unsettling dynamics of an acting class that mirrors a cult, led by a manipulative teacher who exploits students emotionally and financially. It delves into the psychological tactics used to break down participants, forcing them into uncomfortable situations and fostering dependency on the teacher's guidance. The narrative critiques the teacher's transition from practical skill instruction to a life-coaching model, resulting in a toxic environment that undermines the students’ self-esteem and personal growth.
