Tips For Choosing A New York Theatre Workshop

By Deanne Shepard


New York NY is a place that is world famous for theatre. While most people dream of appearing on Broadway there are ways to get the experience of theatrical acting. A number of companies offer a New York theatre workshop and this can be beneficial in a number of different ways.

A number of excellent actors have come from the New York theatres. It was here that Lee Strasberg studied the work of Stanislavsky. This study helped him to develop what is now known as the Method school of acting, an approach that would be adopted by actors such as Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep.

However acting does not necessarily have to be something that requires you to go to a drama school. You can equally attend workshops and learn skills this way. Over time it can allow you to become more proficient at acting and become more aware of how to act more effectively.

Other classes may cover other aspects. For example improvisation is a tool that can be useful in both comedy and drama. While a lot of people associate improvisation with comedy it can also be used for dramatic effect. A classic example is the speech in Taxi Driver where the character Travis Bickle questions himself in the mirror.

This can be great experience for people who want to go to drama school or act in the theatre. It offers an introduction to various techniques. It also allows people who might be interested in acting to sample it and see if they want to study it further rather than investing in acting lessons at a drama school.

There are also applications outside of acting and the theatre that you may not necessarily associate with drama. A good example is self confidence. For a lot of people self confidence can be an issue. This is especially the case with young children and teenagers. Acting lessons and workshops can be a great way of making people feel self confident while at the same time helping them to stay focused.

In order to get the full benefit it helps to find the right workshop. This is in terms of both the skills you learn and the person instructing. Ideally you want to go to a class where the teacher has the appropriate skills and experience. As well as someone who has extensive acting or directing experience ideally they should also have the patience and experience in order to teach people as well, something that is not necessarily the same as being able to direct people.

As well as the workshop you also need to consider the person teaching. Ideally they will have the appropriate experience to guide you and help you develop your skills. You can find out more by looking up theatres in your local area as well as feedback from people who have attended workshops in the past. This will help you get the most from your classes.
