Acting Classes

M.K. Lewis  teaches three classes:
 • Acting for the Camera 
•  Cold Reading & Interview Technique and 
•  Film Technique


Acting for the Camera, his primary offering, 
is taught on an ongoing basis. 
There are two levels:
Master, for the experienced/working actor, and 
Advanced, for actors with some experience and 
training. 
The classes focus on scene study and exercises 
designed to improve the actor's skills in acting 
for the camera. 
Scenes are played back on tape and critiqued 
by M.K. Lewis alone, never by other students. 
Mr. Lewis utilizes various acting techniques 
depending on the need of the individual student, 
as opposed to espousing a single method.
His teaching philosophy is similar to that of 
Stella Adler, recognizing the actor as part of 
the storytelling process.
Classes run from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m weekly. 
The Advanced class meets on Mondays, 
The Master class meets on Tuesdays.

Auditing is permitted at no charge. 

Class size is limited to 14.

Cold Reading & Interview Technique 
is a 10-week workshop 
featuring a step-by-step approach to auditions 
and interviews with casting directors, agents, 
producers and directors.

Film Technique 
is a 10-week workshop focusing strictly on the 
technical aspects of working in front of a camera, 
such as matching, hitting marks, staying in frame, etc.

These classes, which alternate throughout the year,
meet on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 11 p.m.

Acting experience for either class can vary 
from newcomer to professional.

Class size in both is limited to 10-12.
