Professional Actors Lab
72 Stafford Street, Suite 301 M6J2R9 Toronto, ON, Canada

In response to concerns about the COVID-19 virus, PRO ACTORS LAB will be closed until June (stage 2). We want to reassure our students that when classes resume, every precaution will be taken moving forward to limit the risk associated with the virus. The studio is cleaned and disinfected diligently. Everyone taking class will need to wash their hands before doing scenes, and scenes will be blocked and set up so no touching is required. Cameras will be wiped down between takes. THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR MISSING CLASS OR IF A CLASS IS POSTPONED: Anyone with cold or flu symptoms who is taking class must stay home. And any student who misses class will be guaranteed credit toward future classes with their (same) instructor, when they can return. Take care, and we look forward to resuming classes in the summer.

Classes at Pro Actors Lab are starting up again in January 2019! See below for details on Andrea's classes. Please note, Audition Preparation is moved to Sunday nights. Deadline to apply in January 4. Happy Holidays!... Meisner Fundamentals: This course will focus on the concepts of Practical Aesthetics, an acting technique conceived by David Mamet and William H. Macy, based on the teachings of Stanislavski and Sanford Meisner. This work is about the actor getting out of their head by putting the attention onto the other person, and adapting to the changing truth of each moment. Working off-camera, the class will begin with a focus on Meisner-based exercises that will lead into improvised and scripted scene work. The aim of which always is to get present, be active, and tell the truth.

Most time will be spent on camera, using exercises and scene work to deepen the understanding of what is required of the actor. Through contemporary scripts for partnered scene work and audition technique, the class will explore and practice "getting present," as well as active listening, pursuing objectives, defining relationship, playing moment to moment, script analysis, and the technical demands of being on camera. The exercises and scene work will help the actor activate their impulses, behave truthfully with an acting partner, and connect to the given circumstances.
