The great Russian Master teacher and director, Stanislavsky developed his “Method of Physical Actions” chart after 40 years of experimentation. The Stanislavsky System of Acting is arguably the most significant method of acting used across America and around the world, influencing many of the foremost acting teachers of the 20th century including Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg, Sanford Meisner, Robert Lewis, Harold Clurman, The Group Theatre, many of the most important acting companies, and significant actors and directors of the 20th century including Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Ellen Burstyn, Benecio de Toro, Kim Stanley, Geraldine Page, Julie Harris, and Sidney Lumet.

Ronald Rand is an award-winning international director. His production of “LUV” continues to run into it’s fifth sold-out year at Sarajevo’s prestigious Chamber Theater 55 starring Zana Marjanovic of Angelina Jolie’s film, “In the Land of Blood and Honey.”   He was mentored by Stella Adler for over five years, and by the great directors, Harold Clurman, Joseph Chaikin, and Jerzy Grotowski.

During Mr. Rand’s master workshop, each student receives a copy of Stansiavsky’s chart, discovering ways through improvisational and physical exercises, to unleash their talents and creativity to their fullest capabilities, leading to successful auditions and more truthful performing. The 2 hour Master acting workshop is extremely useful for those with experience or beginners.

Wherever I have taught, in almost 25 countries, including Zimbabwe, Belarus, Colombia, Nepal and Morocco, and recently at the Alabama School of Fine Arts, the two hours we spend together is a most energizing and inspiring experience as we explore this fascinating chart together. I believe in the richness of the human spirit and through the process of creativity and transformation, we have the opportunity to reveal our heart and talent to help make the world a more beautiful place to Iive in.”
