Wednesday 7:00-11:00

This class enhances the artistic collaboration among actor, director, and writer, further exploring the actor’s understanding that he is the instrument: the voice, the physical, the mind, the soul: all must function as one unit. This training is designed to achieve the full integration of the disciplines needed to develop an actor who is centered, confident, and persevering. The actor must reclaim his dignity as an artist and seek work with confidence and know-how in an industry that demands professionalism, toughness, confidence, and fluency in his overall presentation. This class may be taken alone or in conjunction with the Technique/Character class. This Master Class for 2012 will now also be a Showcase Class. I will be choosing the best six scenes every other month to showcase to an audience of top managers, agents, casting directors, and producers. In addition, this class will be filmed in its entirety, from inception of all scene work to the final performance of the six scenes chosen for each showcase. A DVD/documentary with worldwide online distribution will be made this year about me and my process as director and teacher, featuring the extremely talented group of actors in our Studio and capturing the evolution of your scene work and character development.

Cost
Class is $300 per month. If taken in conjunction with Monday’s MADLER – Technique/Character cost is $450 per month. If taking all three classes (Mon-Wed-Thurs), cost is $600/month
