🎭 RAW Actors Retreat 🇪🇸 Barcelona 2026
Four immersive days of powerful creative work, profound connections, and unforgettable adventures!
📍 Barcelona, Spain
📅 April 13-16th, 2026
✨ Only 8 spots!
This is not your average retreat.
It's a hands-on, artist-level experience for those that want to explore and dive deeper into their craft.
For four days, you step away from the noise of everyday life and into a focused creative environment where your only job is to explore, discover, play, and do the work. You train in an intimate group with Richie through a carefully designed flow that builds skill, confidence, emotional access, and creative freedom that carries directly into auditions, self tapes, and on-set work. Alongside daily workshops, group excursions to historical landmarks, live shows, curated experiences, and traditional restaurants will enrich the itinerary.
🌆 Why Barcelona
Barcelona isn’t just a backdrop. It’s a part of the experience.
This is a city built on art, architecture, rhythm, and expression. Craftsmanship lives in the streets, the buildings, the food, the music, the way life, and the ways in which people connect.
Select experiences are woven into the retreat to help you let loose, discover Barcelona’s incredible culture, and take in the inspiration around you. The environment supports the creative process in a way a studio alone cannot.
The city invites you to slow down, notice, feel, and reconnect with your senses — all essential for an actor.
🌍 A Creative Ensemble, Not Just a Class
Over these four days, the group becomes a creative ensemble.
You work, observe, support, and grow together. Conversations continue between sessions. Breakthroughs are shared. Artists from different places and backgrounds connect through a shared commitment to the craft.
Some of the most consequential shifts happen in the in-between moments, when walls come down and community forms.
You won’t just leave with tools.
You can leave with meaningful bonds and profound experiences that will help shape the worlds you create in your career.
✨ What Shifts By Day Four
Actors typically arrive a little in their heads.
By the end, something has opened.
You may notice:
-
More trust in your instincts
-
Greater emotional availability
-
Bolder, more committed choices
-
A stronger sense of presence on camera
-
Clearer awareness of your strengths and growth areas
Most of all, you leave feeling like an artist, not just someone trying to “book the job.”
🎬 The RAW Approach
Richie’s teaching is rooted in something rare.
He grew up inside of one of Los Angeles’ most credible acting studios. Both of his parents were not only successful working actors in the Golden Age of Old Hollywood, but also went on to become notable acting coaches in the industry. From the time he was born, Richie spent his childhood around sets, studios, and the daily discipline of the craft. He has now coached actors for over 26 years, and many of his students have gone on to build notable careers in film and television.
His philosophy is simple:
No method. Just truth.
You may hear him say,
👉 “Get out of the way of the role.”
Actors often come in overthinking, pre-planning, trying to “do it right.” RAW training helps you move past that. You learn to set aside your own ideas and biases, and lend your instrument to the life of the character. To become a translator of truth. To trust instinct without losing the ability to collaborate, take direction, hit marks, and deliver consistent, grounded performances.
Richie has a gift for guiding actors to:
-
Access real emotion and vulnerability
-
Become more fearless and committed in their choices
-
Tune into subtle human behavior and nuance
-
Work with greater freedom while staying truthful on camera
The work is supportive, but direct. Safe, but challenging. You are seen, pushed, and guided with care.
🎥 Built for Today’s Film & TV Industry
The acting landscape has changed. Self tapes, Zoom call backs, and on-camera presence are now essential parts of a professional career.
RAW has been at the forefront of this shift.
When the industry pivoted online, Richie expanded his training to help actors master not only performance, but the realities of today’s audition process. RAW actors learn how to deliver believable, repeatable performances for camera, while understanding the practical side of self taping and modern audition expectations.
At the retreat, this translates into:
-
Film and television focused scene work
-
Custom written scenes created for the actors in this group
-
Improvisation to unlock instinct and responsiveness
-
Cold reads to build confidence and adaptability under pressure
-
Coaching that bridges craft and real world industry demands
This is training designed for the world you are actually auditioning in.
