The Story ⚡
In three focused days this October, a group of aspiring actors will receive the practical guidance that talent alone has never been enough to provide.
Tell Me More
Actor’s Lab, the three-day intensive acting class created by actor and theatre practitioner Lanre Adediwura, will take place from 23 to 25 October 2026. The programme is sponsored by Fortis Global Insurance PLC and delivered in partnership with Euphoria360 Academy, an initiative under Euphoria360 Hub associated with filmmaker and actor Femi Adebayo.
The class is designed specifically for aspiring and developing actors who want practical, hands-on training and a realistic understanding of what a professional screen career requires. It moves beyond theory to give participants direct experience of technique and industry expectations.
What the Founder Set Out to Provide
Adediwura has been direct about the reason the programme exists. “I created Actor’s Lab because I’ve seen how much talent is waiting for the right guidance,” he said. “In three days, we want participants to learn real technique, understand the industry, and leave more confident about their next step.”
The short duration is deliberate. Rather than offering a broad survey, the intensive concentrates on usable skills and clarity about the professional environment actors will enter.
The Sponsorship and the Partnership
Fortis Global Insurance PLC’s sponsorship will support participants in accessing the training. Bode Walter Akinboye, GCEO of Fortis Global Holdco, stated the purpose plainly: “The people who create Nigeria’s stories deserve to be supported, and that is what this partnership is about.”
Euphoria360 Academy forms the delivery side of the collaboration. As an initiative under Euphoria360 Hub, it places the class inside a setting connected to active filmmaking rather than an abstract training space.
The Work That Brought the Sides Together
The partnership was facilitated by Adenike Odubawo, Adediwura’s talent manager and film producer. Her view of the arrangement is practical: “Nollywood and Nigerian television keep growing, and the next wave of actors needs access to quality training. We are glad to see corporate and creative partners coming together for that.”
Odubawo’s role highlights the quiet organisational work required to turn an idea into a funded, scheduled programme with a defined venue partner.
