ONGOING ACTING CLASSES

Advanced / Mid-Level

WEDNESDAY EVES. 7:30-10:30

TAUGHT BY: LAWRENCE MANDLEY

A "near professional "class for the actor with good degree of training and/or experience.



 
WE CONCENTRATE ON:

Acting for this industry
Learning to work quickly, being ready to shoot
without rehearsal, committing to a scene without
guidance from the director, having scenes and
monologues ready for auditions, etc.

WE DO THAT BY DOING:
"Unprepared Scenes"
The actor comes to class ready to shoot without having
worked with a partner. The partner is assigned on the spot,
minimal direction is given and we shoot as usual, with
critique following. This exercise closely approximates the 
actual working conditions in the industry.

Lawrence A. Mandley  has studied with MK for
more than 12 years as well as worked abroad  
with him in some of his European seminars.
He uses the skills he has learned to teach the 
new and intermediateactor the basics of acting 
for the camera, analyzing scripts and characters, 
working fast and much more. 
He is a pro with more than 25 years experience 
in film, TV and stage.
Among his credits are:
SEINFELD, ER, MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, 
FRIENDS, THE PARENT'HOOD, THE DIVISION, 
NORM,THE HUGHLEYS, MAD ABOUT YOU, 
MARTIN, ARLISS, THE NANNY
