Detailed Narrative:

Jamie has been a professional actor and director for over 25 years, performing and teaching throughout the United States and Europe. He was an Acting Research Fellow at the Yale School of Drama, and he taught acting at the University of Texas and at Yale University.

 

This is the caliber of class sought out by amateur and professional actors in major markets, where actors seek creative environments in which they can learn, hone and exercise their craft.  An actors’ gym – this will be a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where you can stretch and grow without the pressure of performance. If you are an experienced actor or if you have only imagined yourself on stage or in film, this class is for you. 

 

We will be practicing a specific technique that Jamie learned at Yale School of Drama, the foremost program for acting instruction in the U.S.  It cannot be found in any book. This easily applied method is the most practical and effective he has ever encountered.

 

Upon enrollment, you will receive a welcome package containing a volume of the selected plays of Anton Chekhov along with class related materials. You are asked to choose two or three scenes from the material that you would like to work on. The plays are: The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard and Ivanov.  They are simple to read and any one of them can be read in an hour.
