An acting class with kick in Los Angeles and San Francisco

“Life’s splendor forever
lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.”
~Kafka

10 weeks. 3 hours weekly. $350. Learn the acting technique I encountered as a directing student at the Yale School of Drama.

The technique is based on the work of the most influential acting teacher of all time, Konstantin Stanislavsky. But it's Stanislavsky with the kinks ironed out and the practical questions answered.

Mother of Invention students go on to do great things! One student got a speaking part in the Harvey Milk movie that Gus Van Sant is directing. Read about it here.

Read this remarkable inquiry received recently about the LA class from an LA actor!

Be sure to check out the ever-growing list of testimonials from students who wanted something more from an acting class and got it. One longtime student wrote a letter to a friend about the class. And speaking of testimonials, this just in: acclaimed playwright Liz Duffy Adams, a member of New Dramatists in New York, whose plays (Dog Act, One Big Lie, The Train Play) have received fine productions around the country in the last few years, has proffered the following: "Andrew is one of the sharpest, most inspiring and galvanizing people I know. I trained as an actor in the experimental theater, so I tend to be wary of Stanislavsky-based methods-- but Andrew brilliantly mines that tradition to help actors bring characters to vivid, theatrically compelling life. I highly recommend him."
