Classes In Studio



Miriam’s use of various techniques that intensify actors’ on-camera presence. These exercises integrate Linklater/Alexander warm-ups with Stanislavski, Meisner, Adler, Hagen and Strasberg approaches.
Actors learn to act and audition for stage and screen; to investigate story and character; to use and combine analysis with personal connections.
In Scene Study, actors master character analysis, activities, and motivated movement.
The connections actors learn add to moment-to-moment work in theatre and film.
MORE ABOUT THE SESSION STRUCTURE




Actors have found that studying with Miriam for one or two years builds their technique – challenging them to take risks more effectively than going from teacher to teacher. Because of the depth of training offered, working with Miriam leads towards a highly skilled and intuitive acting style in theatre, television, and film.
Actors new to class work on a monologue, learning lines, auditions, and then move on to scene-study. Returning actors choose to work on short prepared scenes, monologues, long-term scene study, cold reads and ‘off-book’ audition techniques
