:: Acting as a Creative Art::

"As a painter prepares a canvas or a musician tunes his instrument, so must an actor prepare to create art."

Based on her studies with Sonia Moore of “The American Stanislavski Theater,” with Sharon Chatten of “The Actors Studio”, in NYC, and her work as a professional actor in Theater and Film, Elizabeth teaches students the following in her classes: A Cold Reading technique, using the five W’s to prepare for a cold reading, or to set up an Improvisation; The Fourth Wall; Relaxation and Sense memory exercises; Building a character from the inside out, and Monologue and/or Scene Study.
