GOOD KIDS CLASS!!!

Creative Drama is an integrative process that develops imaginative thought and creative expression in children.  Through the use of movement, pantomime, improvisation, story dramatization and group discussion, children acquire language and communication skills, social awareness, problem-solving abilities, self-concept enhancement, and an understanding of theatre.  Rather than an attempt to create professional child actors, the goal of Creative Dramatics is to guide your child to self-fulfillment through the process of theatre techniques.

 

Ages 6 to 15

The Meisner Technique

 

Erin Elizabeth Burns, of the

Maggie Flanigan Conservatory in NYC,
teaches Meisner at GOOD Acting Studio!


 

The definition of Acting is “living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” In order to do this we must learn to strip away the confines that society has put on us and respond truthfully in every moment. Meisner has developed improvisational exercises that bring the actor back to the beginning where they learn to know themselves and can act in a place where no barriers exist. They will come away from this training with the ability to have a truthful experience with another actor. And when the actor has an experience, the audience has an experience.

David Nash, of the

Lee Strasberg Institute in Los Angeles, teaches the METHOD at GOOD Acting Studio!

What is the Strasberg Technique?
For centuries, cultures used different words and phrases to describe this kind of “good” acting: Romantic Acting, Emotional Acting, Divine Inspiration, The Muses, Feeling the Role. These terms merely described an organic process of creativity that talented actors used, often times unconsciously, to accomplish what audiences experienced as a moving performance; And this ‘moving’ was in fact the (re)experiencing of life by the actor within the fiction of the story as if it were true and happening now. Aristotle said that the secret to moving the passions in others is to be moved oneself, and that moving oneself is made possible by bringing to the fore “visions” of experiences from life that are no longer present. In essence, Aristotle was stating the core principle of The Method—the creative play of the affective memory in the actor’s imagination as the foundation for (re)experiencing on stage.
This idea was first called the ‘System’ by Konstantin Stanislavsky, and later, as further developed by Lee Strasberg (at the Group Theatre, the Actors Studio & then at the Institute), ‘The Method’. The Method trains actors to use their imagination, senses and emotions to conceive of characters with unique and original behavior, creating performances grounded in the human truth of the moment.
