Core Acting Technique

Core Acting Technique is a dynamic, structured 10-week class designed to fortify and deepen the skills that go into brilliant acting while stretching students as artists and as human beings.

Acting exercises, take home assignments for in-class work and scene study make up the bulk of each class. This powerful classroom work allows students to grow at a rapid pace while creating an acting foundation that will serve for a lifetime.

This class is perfect for those who are beginners, for those who are looking for a slower paced class, or for those with prior acting experience who need a technique brush-up.

This is not a sit in your seat lecture! Students are up on their feet working in every class in a supportive environment that allows them to really take risks and fly.

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.

DAY: Mondays

TIME: 6-10 PM

DATES: September 9-November 11 (a total of 10 classes)

LOCATION: NYC Studio TBA

FEE: $495, payable in 2 installments

By pairing scene study along with cold readings, students will have the opportunity to both ground their scene work skills and then take them even further by tying them to the quick work that's often required at an audition. 

On Tuesday, September 10 & Saturday, September 14 we will be playing some catch-up and discussing the plays of all 18 Book Club for Actors' playwrights.

The Book Club for Actors' is offered twice; please choose either meeting:

WHEN: Tuesday, September 10, 7-9:00 - East Village OR 

WHERE: Location will be e-mailed with RSVP confirmation

For the next Book Club for Actors, we take a little detour -- right back through the 18 amazing playwrights we've already read. At the end of every book club meeting, attendees are often inspired to read the plays on the list they had not yet read. This is that magical opportunity to do so!

To get started, please visit the Book Club for Actors' Archive. There you'll see listed all of the playwrights and plays read thus far. Choose to read and watch whatever you'd like in order to catch up. Also, feel free to re-read anything that strikes your fancy.

If you're not a regular attender or are planning to attend the book club meeting for the first time in September, you may have a little more to "catch up" on. No need to feel overwhelmed having to read it all; choose a good handful of plays (at least 5-7) and get ready for some compelling conversation touching on the work of these captivating Book Club for Actors' playwrights.

Looking forward to it!
