The Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown Studio encourages all of its students to see all of the nominated films for the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild and the Academy Awards. This is a rich opportunity to study performances and evaluate the work in relationship to the studio training. Is the performance specific and clear, alive and truthful, relaxed and real? In studying the Meisner training each student is educating themselves in what to look for that creates a truly great and skilled performance. The popular response to a performance or film can sometimes be uneducated as to what truly makes the art form art. As students of the Meisner work we no longer sit in the audience merely being entertained or moved; we are analyzing the work before us as painters may study a painting at a museum. We encourage every student to create their own personal best actor list and turn it in for discussion in their class with their teacher. Through this artistic debate we can all learn much about what creates virtuosity in acting.
This form of study is yet another means by which to measure your own work and growth within your training at the Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown Studio.
Have fun and learn much within this New Year with all its possibilities
