THE GOLDEN BOX 2 Day MASTERCLASS acting technique analysis

We will help you to develop your own “Golden Box” of techniques and tools that you can use when approaching a role or a scene, whether it be for film, television, or theater.

Discover the answers to the following questions:

Why are some choices more powerful than others?

How does one deliver a raw unforgettable performance?

What specific tools can be applied to film, television, and stage work?

The Michelle Danner Acting Studio’s philosophy is that artists can draw upon all different acting techniques and form an individual toolbox, their own Golden Box. The Acting School’s acting techniques are based on Meisner, Strasberg, Adler, Hagen, Chekhov & the Stanislavsky Technique.
