The Approach

These classes work on the simple approach of ‘Being and Doing’ — If the Actor is in a state of Beingness (the Role) and he or she is simply Doing (living the life of the Role), then there is no need to ‘Act’. The work stresses the importance of listening and perceiving (the Heart of Acting), and working directly from one’s own instruments on a moment to moment basis. It emphasizes that being truthful to the resulting impulses is the most important step in mastering the art of acting for the camera.
