Our values.
Learning never stops.
Actors who are passionate and true to themselves and their craft are in a constant search for reliable, relevant, and continuous training. It is up to us to make sure that the training we provide moves with the people and the times, while in keeping with the principles of the Meisner Technique. We make sure that we, ourselves, stay up-to-date, never stop learning, and keep moving forward.
Empowerment
We believe in empowering actors to take ownership of their craft and develop their unique voice as an actor and as a human being. We provide a safe and supportive space for actors to take risks and explore their creativity.
Professionalism
We prepare our students for a career in the performing arts industry. We instill a strong work ethic, professionalism, and respect for the craft of acting.
Integrity
We believe in fostering a culture of honesty, responsibility, and accountability. We hold our students and staff to high standards of ethical behavior and strive to create a safe and respectful learning environment.
Collaboration
We value collaboration and believe that actors can learn from one another, as well as from other practitioners in the industry. Our programs are designed to foster a sense of community and encourage actors and other practitioners to work together to create truthful and stirring performances.
Diversity and Inclusion
We believe that the performing arts should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment that celebrates the unique experiences and perspectives of all our students.
“I swear by Meisner. It is a technique that is easy with no shortcuts to one’s truth, without psychological harm, and big, sharp training for your naturally immense imagination and empathy. I bought the book after I took the class so that I would always have it with me. And I swear, if you enroll for her classes, you won’t ever regret it, and you will take it with you your whole life long.
I went through a hell-hole. But I’m not kidding when I say that this teacher’s lessons are among the things that have helped keep me sane through it. I’m glad to have been part of her class, and I’m keeping all the friends I met there - especially this wonderful human named Angeli Bayani.
Every other human who becomes her student, I will treat as my Meisner sibling, as I do my batch mates. I swear to you, Ms. A will take care of you if you are part of her class. That’s our mother, right there.”
— Chai Fonacier, Actor
