WHAT IS METHOD ACTING?

Method Acting, also known as The Method, is a world-renowned acting technique created and taught by Lee Strasberg. Building on the work of Konstantin Stanislavsky, Lee developed The Method to help actors deliver authentic and nuanced performances by calling on their own life experiences. The actor uses their personal life to inspire their imaginations and to relate to the life of the character as only they can. Young Actors at Strasberg students will study Lee’s relaxation and sense memory exercises while learning to make creative choices and explore the art of storytelling.
