The Academy

What is Arda Eşberk Akademi?

Arda Eşberk Akademi is a Berlin-based academy for personal transformation. It is built on CineDrama — an original method that fuses Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey with cinema, acting, yoga and consciousness work.

The academy offers a five-level transformation journey for individuals, training in acting and communication, yoga and consciousness work grounded in 25 years of practice, and leadership and stage-practice programs for organizations.

Founder Arda Eşberk is an actor, director and writer with an MA in Film & TV from Kadir Has University, and a Cambridge IGCSE Drama certified educator. In cooperation with the Berlin Senate (Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie) he has run CineDrama projects at Aziz Nesin Grundschule and Carl-von-Ossietzky Gemeinschaftsschule. He has been a columnist at Şalom since 2017 and a producer at Metropol FM Berlin since 2019. Twenty-five years of yoga practice (Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and the kundalini system) form the embodied, inner ground of the CineDrama method.

His theatre production "Kibele's Daughters" was staged at Berlin's UfaFabrik in 2020 and filmed on stage; the film was screened in Frankfurt in 2023.
