ACTING CLASSES
Suzanne's acting approach is rooted in The Method. However, she uses a fusion of techniques and healing modalities to help artists connect with the circumstances of the character. (IE) - energy healing, meditation, crystal therapy, journaling and release work
Suzanne is passionate about exploring the nuances and patterns of human nature and aims to inspire her students to do the same. Her approach is laser focused on releasing tension and staying curious. She believes this is the foundation of authentic acting.
CLASSES
Be
Be is the foundational class. It's a 5 week mandatory class that focuses on relaxation, heightening curiosity, cultivating sense memory, connecting to one's breath, improvisation, the removal of tension, behaving in a way that feels intimate and non-presentational, becoming emotionally brave, journaling & release work. Most importantly, this class creates a safe space to deep dive into the rawest most vulnerable parts of our being. This class also consists of beginning monologue study and beginning scene study.
Classes are twice a week over 5 weeks with taped performance - $500
Exploring the Method
In this 7 week class, students will build on what they learned in Be. Actors will learn how to behave realistically under imaginary circumstances and learn how to remove unconscious habits, and further develop a deeper connection to self and to the character they are performing in an organic way.
