Acting does not take place from the neck up.
The Maggie Flanigan Studio in NYC professional actor training program teaching the Meisner Technique.
http://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com We are proud to be NYC’s most respected professional actor training program. We welcome aspiring actors interested in going the distance with themselves; risk-takers who want to feel safe, nurtured, and yet pushed in a way they could have never imagined in order to fulfill their fullest artistic potential. Charlie and all of the faculty approach every day honor

Nothing replaces discipline. You either have it, embrace it, and develop it, or you’re just a lazy actor.
Join me this Thursday, June 18th - 6:30pm at the studio. I’ll be discussing what it means to pursue truthful acting, live a creative life, and engage seriously with art in today’s world.
This is not a lecture or an open house. It is a public artistic conversation and Q&A for actors, artists, and anyone interested in the discipline, rigor, and humanity required to create meaningful work.

Don’t allow a computer to replace the struggle of creativity. It’s lazy.

There’s nothing worse than not knowing your lines, being unprepared. Being late is a very close second. 1A and 1B in the unprofessional actor hierarchy.
It takes a lot to surprise me. Incredibly meaningful and tremendously thoughtful.
Huge congrats to all our 2nd Years who are now equipped with the following:
- To pay attention
- To observe behavior
- To cultivate curiosity
- To seek understanding
- To listen
- To have empathy
- To imagine
The actors greatest resource is not talent.
It is a fascination with human behavior.

If you learn how to do good work consistently, that air of desperation is going to diminish to something unrecognizable in you.
