The New York City based Maggie Flanigan Studio is pleased to announce their summer acting programs in NYC. They invite all aspiring actors to sign up and join the program. The academy has developed a reputation for organizing and hosting programs aimed at helping actors bring out their inner selves and thus put more of themselves into every performance. The program is based on a training regimen developed by Sanford Meisner to teach professional actors. Find out more at the following link: Summer Acting Programs NYC.
Ian Hayes, one of the many students who have been involved in the studio’s training programs, including their summer sessions, had this to say about the academy and its effect on his life: “I have now finished my first year (and summer session) of the two year program at the Maggie Flanigan Studio, and I can say without a doubt that coming here is the greatest decision of my life thus far.”
He goes on to describe how his time at the academy has helped him grow and transform both his professional and personal life in ways he never thought he could achieve. “What I love about this place is that they understand that the art of acting is a holistic art form and not just memorizing and reciting lines,” says Ian. “They have so many classes, all fuelling the totality of your instrument with experience and tools to create cathartic art. It's a true ‘hero's journey,’ this two year program. Taking on the responsibility of revealing the human condition is a terrifying feat. Charlie and all of the staff at the Maggie Flanigan Studio help you face that fear, and turn it into an honor to do so. Stop considering studying here, and just do it.”
The Summer Acting Program revolves around the Six Week Meisner Summer Intensive, which takes place between early June and the end of July. The program introduces curious students to the first third of the Acting 1 Meisner Technique, allowing them to experience all the rigors of serious professional actor training in the frame of six weeks. During the summer program, actors will attend the Voice 1 and Movement 1 classes, along with one other auxiliary class. The auxiliary classes cover On Camera, Commercial 1, Mask & Character, Playwriting, Nutrition, and Self-Care For Actors. Students generally spend between 15 and 26 hours a week learning, depending on the number of classes they have. While it may be impossible to learn everything there is about acting in six weeks, the Meisner summer intensive will, as Maggie Flanigan Studio states through their website, “wake you up to the art form, the importance of artistry and hard work, and a new understanding of the important fundamentals that any serious actor should possess.”
Those looking for an immersive and intense summer acting program can find exactly what they are looking for at the Maggie Flanigan Studio. The academy guarantees that the actors who attend their summer programs will leave the program with a new appreciation for their craft and an increased awareness of the many ways in which they can use both their voice and body. Actors who are interested in summer acting programs in NYC can get in touch with the Maggie Flanigan Studio and start their journey towards being a more complete performer today.
Ian Hayes isn’t the only student that has passed through the academy and come out with something positive to say. Alana F., was quoted saying, “Reiki is truly a treat. As an actor in NYC I often neglect my emotional well-being and internal growth. I often feel emotionally drained after an intense class or rehearsal, and Reiki is where I come to rest my mind and body, and turn my intention inwards to cultivate my emotional wealth. Reiki charges and releases at the same time. Laura is as supportive and loving as a teacher can be, and she has taught me to embrace vulnerability, to welcome love and joy into my life, and to let go of tension and frustrations that I don't need. I walked out of every Reiki class feeling like a better person and artist, thank you Laura!”
