This exploration of both famous and not-so-famous acting methods may introduce you to the perfect approach to suit your style and goals – but it’s more likely to go beyond that, to help you create or clarify your own personal acting process from a broad and varied base of practical techniques. It’s part acting class, part stimulating book club: you’ll read and discuss what the great acting teachers of the 20thand 21st centuries have to say, and put each unique approach into practice with assigned scripts. (No rehearsal outside of class required.)
