Suwanee, Georgia: Teen Actor Master Class

“Larry, I have learned more in this weekend than in any other drama workshop I have taken. Having the exposure to this work was so valuable to both the students and the teachers and you have inspired me. The students were delighted by the energy you brought and the new ideas you offered them - it was a joy to witness and I know that they are changed by this experience, I know that I am too, thank you.”  Anne Morrow, Peachtree Ridge H.S.

“Your work with the students has been inspiring. I applaud your unwillingness to “simplify” the exercises to cater to the short attention span of the “typical” teenager. Thank you for expecting so much from the students. What an excellent experience for students and teachers alike. Thank you Larry!!”  Sharon Morrow, Parkview High School

  

“I really enjoyed watching you work with the kids because you never negated their effort you just changed their focus. I see that your teaching style instills trust in your students so that they feel more comfortable to take risks in their work.”  Katherine Alexander, Berkmar High School

“I’ve read most of your books but this weekend was a great refresher course and has me excited about introducing additional materials into my acting classes. Thanks for an outstanding weekend!”  Patty Lindahl, Brookwood High School

“I’ve always known that it is important to be in the moment, but you’ve taught me HOW!” Christine

 

“This weekend has been so enlightening and invaluable, especially learning how to stay open to the behavior of others and the world around me.” Shade

“The most important thing I learned was how to connect emotionally with the character I am playing and how to portray that role with true human behavior.” Alessandra

“As I learned how to take the attention off of myself, I learned not to force my emotions and not to fear them, but to embrace them in a simple, honest way.” Julia

“This has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If I can learn this much in just 2 days, I can’t even imagine what it would be like to take this class for a year!” Brody

"I learned techniques and lessons that are essential to being a good actor as well as being a good person and having a fulfilling life. It is all connected!” Heather

A note from Larry... "As we have gone through these weekends together, I have witnessed the kids experiencing a profound freedom in getting their attention completely off of themselves. They have really soaked in the lessons of becoming available to each other in an effortless and heartfelt way. As it was for me as a young person studying with Sandy Meisner, I trust that this aspect of the work alone, will have a ripple effect that will be of lasting value in their lives and in their art."
