WE BELIEVE...

...the fun of acting comes from the actors' work.
here, actors are taught to think, to feel, to go at their
limitations with a vengeance, to"gut it out" when the
work is bad, and to know when it is good.

...The actor should be taught different techniques
and approaches toward acting so he can discover what
works best for him.

...Above all, the actor should feel his teacher is on his
side. the teacher should never forget that each student
is an individual, to be treated honestly and with respect.
And the actor should return the favour by having, as
Uta Hagen put it, Respect for Acting.
