Method Acting Classes In Lakewood
by Lakewood Young Filmmakers Academy via NEohioPAL 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

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 15022 Madison Ave, Lakewood on August 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th at 6pm 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 HERE <http://lakewoodyfa.wixsite.com/clemethodacting>

ABOUT THE SHOW "Young Frankenstein" The New Mel Brooks Musical Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks Directed by Bill Morgan Choreographed by Conni Fleming Musical Direction by John Ebner It's alive! The electrifying adaptation of Mel Brooks' monstrously funny film will leave you in stitches! >From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers comes this monstrous new musical comedy. Comedy genius Mel Brooks has adapted his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation - Young Frankenstein! Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "FRONK-en-steen") inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "EYE-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant named Inga (pronounced normally!), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. With such memorable tunes as "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz," Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven to be monstrously good entertainment!
