We are a family of artists and a community of visionaries, and we believe in providing arts education and live performance opportunities to people of all ages who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience live theatre. Over the last 30 years, we have grown from a grassroots acting school into a world-renowned institution for acting and theatre. In addition to our teaching center, we offer public programming and extensive community outreach.Ībout Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre – Los Angeles Driven by the belief that growth as an actor and growth as a person are the same, our Academy & Theatre provides the tools, training, and discipline to nurture and support actors who are committed not only to the art form, but to a life of social engagement.

The student-actor learns not to need the director (or anyone else) to hold their hand, yet that same student-actor learns to be able to take direction and make it doable. This reinforces the purpose of the Two Year Program: to train actors to be self motivated to work on all aspects of his/her character on their own, so that he/she can come into ALL acting roles armed with interesting, creative choices that lead to fully realized characters. By this point, the student-actor is expected to work independently on all script analysis and character work so that his/her individual work contributes to the play and the ensemble in each progressive rehearsal. This is the final production of the Full Program. Prerequisites: Alexander Technique I.Ĭlass Format: Two 2 hour 15 minute classes per week
You’ll train yourself to be highly aware of your acting instrument, having the skill to stop unwanted habits and to make clearer and more confident choices. You’ll still receive the hands-on guidance from the teacher, as well as practice quieting your nervous system and releasing unnecessary tension with Constructive (Active) Rest. Furthermore, we will apply AT “tools” to monologues, scenes, mock auditions, cold readings, and in front of the camera. We will explore in depth how the Alexander Technique fits in perfectly when entering the stage: Maintaining a sense of lightness (and light-heartedness) in any audition speaking without tension and strain. The understanding of this process can enable the actor learn to choose more wisely. After having the experience of the first Alexander Technique class (Alexander Technique I), the actor is ready to come to the Advanced, in order to explore more deeply the use of the self, and to carve deeper into the actor’s craft. The confident actor uses the principles of the Alexander Technique as a tool to be present and stay connected.
