Cleveland Method Acting (CMA) is now accepting students for May (Updated)
by 1031 Films via NEohioPAL 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

REGISTER TODAY! CMA provides acting students with the opportunity to discover, nurture and explore their own uniqueness and merge that into the script to stand out on the set or on stage. The classes are centered around The Sanford Meisner Technique. Meisner training is an interdependent series of exercises that build upon one another. The more complex work supports a command of dramatic text. Meisner students work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop an ability to improvise, to access an emotional life, and finally to bring the spontaneity of improvisation and the richness of personal response to text. This is what is commonly known as "method acting." Through the Meisner system, the actor becomes fearless and gains a strong confidence that can be applied to all areas of life. The four week class helps the young actor develop a love for the work, and with this, the ability to survive and work as an actor. Using a series of sensory memory exercises the actor will work on a single piece of work for 4 weeks learning how to look at the work from different angles and explore how the method can help the work evolve into a living breathing scene. http://clevelandmethodacting.homestead.com/ You can find more information or register for the class by visiting the CMA website at Classes are held at the Lakewood Auditorium (Evening and Weekend Sessions Available!) About the instructor: Eric Swinderman is an award winning writer, director producer who has worked with actors from all levels. From beginning students in Cleveland to Hollywood A-Lister such as Danny Trejo (Machete, Anchorman) Busy Philipps (Cougar Town, Made in Cleveland) and Gillian Jacobs (Community, Made in Cleveland)
