I've audited a class. I think they let you on Tuesdays.

Basically their teachings are based on Eleanora Duse, who emphasized the importance of imagination and was in fact the person who originally influenced Stanislavski. Stanislavski was originally big on imagination before he started to delve into the emotional memory and substitution. He later went back to imagination around the time when Stella Adler came to Europe to study with him.

They also emphasize a lot on improvisation.

I don't think what they teach is anything revolutionary like they say. It is unique in that it's one of the few non-Strasberg/Meisner schools in a large ocean of Strasberg/Uta Hagen or Meisner based schools here in LA.

Here are some of the people who teach there:

Thanks,
I did go to their intro session and it looks and sounds really really good...but that might be because I'm extremely anti-method and wish to learn something new and fresh and believe that improv might be the way for me to loosen up and so on and I like the idea that they try to "instill" confidence in their students by inspiring them instead of critiquing (i.e screaming, yelling or in any other way being "the master" like I've experienced in many other schools). The training seemed to be a lot like at the Groundlings which I loved..

Would love to hear from people who has studied there?
