Barrington, Illinois: Teen Actor Master Class

 

"I learned about the importance and difficulty of being fully in "the now" and I gained a better understanding of the "thread" that connects actors together in a scene. Thank you so much for everything! This was by far the best acting class I've taken." Anne

 

"The most important thing I learned this weekend was how  to just be and not to think. I learned the ways to be true and real and how to listen more. We always talk about how "acting is reacting" but in this class, I learned how to react naturally and unplanned - how to just listen and be engaged." Abby

 

"I love how we were taught to use our emotions in a truthful way and how to make our acting real. From this workshop I feel so uplifted and joyful." Natalie

"With your class, I now have many things to work with that make me even more excited about theatre. My favorite things to take with me have to be that acting is more than the words, acting is unmasking oneself to be the character and acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances." Todd

"I learned about true acting, devotion, commitment, point of view and that as actors, we must be awake. One thing I learned that I felt was so important for my life and for my acting was living in the now." Sierra

"The most important thing I learned this weekend was how to stay out of your head and how to not think about what comes next. It's so easy to go on auto-pilot but to truly go inside yourself and work on the unseen, will produce a much more than mediocre piece of acting." Christy

"I learned that acting is doing and that we should live in the now and present rather than in the past and future. I thought this weekend was incredibly fun." Conor

 

"I love the idea that acting is the unmasking of oneself." Madeline
