STELLA ADLER STUDIO OF ACTING FOUNDATION GRANRT PROFESSIONAL
Conservatories always give you a leg up on everyone else due to their discipline and strict professional attitude expectations.īut at the end of the day, it's all about what you take away from it. The work that you're going to get from the education will overshadow that in time. Ultimately, I think the financial burden is not something you should be focused on. Directors who think her technique is the best are definitely going to put you in higher regards in comparison, but alternatively the directors who DESPISE her method (they're out there) are going to see that as a disadvantage. However, being able to say to say you were trained at the Adler conservatory can be a double edged sword. So first of all, make sure the Adler technique is something you want to use in your career because that's the only thing you're going to learn there. Everybody has a method that works better than other, and a large majority find the Adler technique to be the best. The thing about conservatories, including the Adler conservatory, is they teach a very specific type of acting technique. I'm positive you'll love it if you decide to attend. Let that be your guide to your decision once you're accepted. I would read her book first, "The Art of Acting", if you haven't already. I may be biased because I've always loved Stella's realistic approach to acting. There is no funding for housing, but look into low income housing in the city and you might find something! Then you'll do work-study by working at the desk as someone previously mentioned. Then when you apply you have to present why you need the assistance and prove that you're serious about the training. For the conservatory funding you have to go through one semester to show your dedication before you'll be considered. I also have a bit of a background in acting so I was aiming to build upon what I had and change things that weren't working so this approach works for me. They do have a scholarship program as mentioned before, but it's tough to get and ultimately why I decided to do classes as I can afford them. Now, it is expensive, not unlike the rest of New York. Everyone there is professional and dedicated to helping you learn. I love the studio, the staff, and the faculty. I attend Stella Adler for classes in a non-conservatory situation right now and have been since last summer. r/Theatre /r/Shakespeare /r/VoiceActing /r/RecordThis /r/TechTheatre /r/MusicalTheatre /r/TheArtifice /r/ScenesfromAHat /r/ActingNerds Offer your advice with imagination, honesty, and empathy.
