“I believe that acting is action oriented, and emotions are the result of intentions successfully or unsuccessfully achieved. An actor does not come on a set or stage to ‘feel an emotion.” The actor ventures into a dramatic situation to do something. There is a reason why acting is also re-acting. An actor who feels the electric two-way giving and receiving is truly alive.”

Upcoming Classes held:
Fall Film Acting
Section 1 will be held in NYC at a midtown west studio.
Section 2 *Online via Zoom
*Classes offered online are challenging and interactive. Students are warming up, moving, hitting marks, developing strong objectives and freeing their physical behavior. Scenes are shot in a specific ‘box’ or frame–to better duplicate what casting directors are viewing in film audition ‘self-tapes,’ or chemistry reads. Students become comfortable on camera under that tight scrutiny– often in ‘close-up.’ Actors learn how to remember, how to listen, and how to respond. Classes online are recorded and playbacks are an integral part of every session. Playbacks enable students to better evaluate their work. Throughout the term the work grows more vibrant, specific and spontaneous.
