ACTING CLASSES AT GORDON SQUARE - NOW ENROLLING FOR JULY/AUGUST -- CLASS FILLING UP FAST!
by via NEohioPAL 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Cleveland Method Acting (CMA), led by Emmy nominated TV and Film Director Eric Swinderman, is now accepting students for an upcoming 4 week program. The classes are centered around "The Method" and The Sanford Meisner Technique. 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. This is what is commonly known as "method acting." ONLY 2 MORE SLOTS AVAILABLE SO REGISTER TODAY! Classes will be held at 6602 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH - Gordon Square on 7/25, 8/1, 8/8 and 8/15 at 7pm. The recommended age for the classes is 18 and up (exceptions can be made on a case by case basis) You can find more information or register for the class by visiting the CMA website athttp://clevelandmethodacting.homestead.com/
