Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute Austin Seminar

For the first time, The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, internationally known for Method Acting, will offer an incredible opportunity to actors in Austin with a 3-day seminar held at ZACH Theatre in January 2013.
Taught by David Strasberg, Lee Strasberg's son, the seminar is designed to hone skills and develop new possibilities for advanced actors (immersion) while creating a nurturing beginning for less experienced actors (observational).
Scenes and monologues will complement the exercise… Show more work that develops the essential tools of the actor. Highly customized critiques will be offered to challenge each actor while teaching all students the elements required to inspire themselves and maximize their creative talents.
Actors are invited to be a part of this exclusive opportunity to learn the skills that make imagination real, emotions genuine, and overcome the resistance to powerful individual expression.
