ACTING INTENSIVES – NEW YORK CITY
NEW YORK ACTING INTENSIVES
The New York Intensive Programs are designed to introduce actors to Lee Strasberg’s Method. These two-week courses are suitable for university students, working professionals, and those who are only able to attend a short program. Intensives are not eligible for student visas, so international applicants must be able to attend on a tourist or other visa type that permits this activity. The curriculum is pre-set and always includes two 4-hour Method Acting classes per week in addition to a focused selection of elective classes. All classes are taught by our seasoned LSTFI faculty.
There are no Intensives offered in New York between September and April. If you are interested in 2025 Spring or Summer Intensives, sign up here to be notified as schedules, tuition, and updates are announced.
Please note, our Intensives are open to students 18+. For kids and teen summer camps and intensives, visit strasberg.edu/YAS.
