blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Cleveland Method Acting (CMA), led by Emmy nominated TV and Film Director Eric Swinderman, is now accepting students for the upcoming 4 week program. The classes are centered around The Sanford Meisner Technique, also known as THE METHOD. 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." SPACE IS LIMITED SO REGISTER TODAY! Classes will be held at 6602 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH - Gordon Square on September 12th, 19th, 26th and October 3rd 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 at http://clevelandmethodacting.homestead.com

We will then review responses and send select invitations to interview with us at one of our Meet & Greet sessions which will be held during the last weeks of August and the first week of September. Thank you for your interest in the Standardized Patient (SP) program at the Cleveland Clinic Simulation and Advanced Skills Center. SPs portray patients in cases which are used to train medical learners in Communication Skills. SPs also present as themselves in Physical Diagnosis sessions. Special Project SPs work a more varied schedule with other caregivers here at CCF. We are located in the Lerner Research Institute on the main Cleveland Clinic campus near University Circle in a dynamic professional and educational environment. - We have sessions every week during the academic year (September to May), along with Special Projects which occur on various dates. - SP work is dependent upon which cases we use and whether any of the patient profiles in those cases match up with your profile. (That is why it is not necessary to be available *every* Tuesday or Wednesday as this is intermittent part-time work.) Special Project hours are varied. - We will invite you to participate in a specific session(s). You are welcome to say Yes or No. *Communication Skills Simulations* These sessions occur on various Tuesday and/or Wednesday afternoons. *You will not be needed all Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons; you will be invited to specific Tuesday and/or Wednesday afternoons. * Special Projects vary in needs and dates. In order to participate in Communication Skills simulations, you must memorize the character profile of a particular patient. You will be given all information that is necessary either before or at the training. You will not be required to wear a hospital gown or have a physical diagnosis examination. *Training for Communication Skills* We have a 2-hour training session that accompanies *each* of the Communication Skills cases. The timing of the training session varies, but it is most often on the Monday or Thursday of the week before the simulation event. You will be paid for this training. *Physical Diagnosis Simulations* These sessions occur on various Wednesday afternoons from 12:45 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. For this type of session, you must wear a hospital gown, but you are welcome to wear your own sports clothing (shorts, and for women, sports bra or tank top with skinny straps) underneath. There is no character profile to memorize and no training for this type of session. *Special Projects* cover various simulations, e.g., a concerned parent of a child who is a patient, a difficult patient, a patient who has just received bad news. It may be to portray a patient or family member in a sim that is live in the hospital, or that is needed in a video. There are many different types of Special Projects. *Pay* You will be paid $20.00 to $23.00 per hour as an independent contractor. You will not be an employee of the Cleveland Clinic. *Parking* Parking is provided in the garage located directly across the skyway from the College in Lerner on main campus, or for Special Projects, the garage closest to that location. A parking validation ticket will be given to you at each training and simulation in which you participate at the College, or for Special Projects, you will be reimbursed through your invoice at project completion. *If you are interested, please send answers for each of the following requests to the email address listed below which matches the first initial of your last name :* - Name - Age *and *Date of birth (We cast within a 10-year timeframe of your actual age.) - Contact information (home phone and cell phone) - Availability - The type of simulation in which you would like to participate - Communication Skills, Physical Diagnosis, or both.
