"Michael [allows] students to discover their own way into the work whilst ensuring that they never forget to stick to the fundamentals. He is the best teacher that I've ever had." — Mark Gillham
WEEKLY CLASSES
Michael's weekly pro-level acting classes are designed to address the whole actor life: craft, career, and mental challenges. The scene work emphasizes text and character analysis. The atmosphere is casual, supportive, and fun.
Rather than teaching one particular technique, Michael is interested in treating each scene as a new puzzle, exploring options, developing students' “tool kit,” and focusing on process over result.
In this class, actors are bolstered, supported, celebrated, and encouraged to develop a sense of authority over their own work.
There are four weekly sessions to choose from:
IN-PERSON (Los Angeles): Wednesdays, 6:30-9:30pm or Thursdays, 11am-2pm
ON-LINE: Wednesdays, 11am-2pm (PST) or Sundays, 9am-12noon (PST)
Classes are $50 per session, billed weekly. Financial hardship discounts are available by request. Classes are ongoing, and students may take a hiatus or leave class at any time.
