Method
Our program revolves around a method designed from Stanislavsky, Meisner and David Mamet. It is a method now taught at The Atlantic Theater Company in NY, NY among others.
The technique we teach revolves around playing an action rather than recalling an emotion. The actor should create a need in the scene and then use different tactics to attain that need. They would base their success solely on the behavior of the other person in the scene.
An in-depth description of the technique may be found in The Practical Handbook for the Actor and David Mamet's True and False. But for our purposes we will only be giving a brief summary.
