NO
GIMMICKS! NO TRICKS! NO ATTITUDES!
This
is not the "be happy, be sad, be angry, be rich girl,
be tough guy, be nerd" cliché acting so often
taught to actors by the Hollywood industry. This is not the
"go with your feelings" technique which leads to
self-indulgent, attention dependent actors who without a foundation
of artistic integrity often lose their way early in their
careers.
This
is professional
training that actors can use the rest of their careers.
No need to drop all the artificiality of Commercial/Sit-com/TV
acting and scramble to develop a Truthful, Honest, Human acting
technique as they transition into much more demanding Film
roles. The Hagen Object Exercises process
engages the imagination of each unique individual so that
they are self-reliant, inventive, courageous professionals
making their own creative choices from the very first day
of class.

It's an
honor to introduce actors throughout the US and Europe directly
