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.

featuring a step-by-step approach to auditions

Film Technique

Acting experience for either class can vary
from newcomer to professional.
Class size in both is limited to 10-12.
