To Teach Is The Answer
At least for me it is. I just finished reading both The Green Room Blog's post, "To Teach Or Not To Teach" and The Callboard's response "Are acting teachers sellouts?". How could I, as an acting teacher, not jump in?
Unequivocally, choosing the path of teaching has been one of the very best things that I've ever done in my life. And, more to the core, I truly believe that teaching actually chose me. This choice-or calling-is not merely a revamping of my survival job, rather it is a passionate expression of an art form that I care about deeply coupled with the need to serve in a way that is inherently different from acting.

Greetings!
What joy it is to open up the windows and breathe in the blossoming beauty of this moment NOW.
A core principle in the acting training at Art & Soul Acting is presence: we start class off becoming present with whatever is true for us in the moment, we explore how presence creates a moment-by-moment exploration in acting, and we complete strongly by acknowledging what remains present with us by the end of the session.
Of what value would it be to your acting to become even more present to the glorious beauty of spring that is blooming all around? How might an hour-long sensory exploration of your neighborhood garden deepen your journey as an actor?
I wish you many delights in discovering the answers for yourself!
In joy and deep appreciation, Rhonda Rhonda S. Musak Acting Coach Art & Soul Acting |

What's Going on with Acting Class?
 Class began on April 29 and if you'd still like to join there is room! (9 sessions remaining; $495 for the remaining sessions)
Acting for Actors: Training & Expansion
WHEN: Fridays, 12noon-4pm
DATES: April 29-July 1 (a total of 10 Sessions)
WHERE: NYC Midtown Studio
Acting is a tactile skill that demands active participation and practice in order to achieve learning and mastery. The format of this class is designed for optimum student participation. Including a group warm up, each session brings together a series of powerful core acting exercises along with individual work slots. Students will ultimately choose the material they will work on, but they are also given guidance to ensure that their material suits where they are individually in the learning and growth process.
For their individual slots, students will have the opportunity to work on the following material:
- Scenes
- Monolouges
- Cold Readings
- Audition Prep
- Warm-Up Creation
- Solution Focused Breakdown
Class size is kept small so that participants have time to be up on their feet working, making mistakes, learning from their mistakes and growing into ever more powerful actors.
