About
Young Actors at Strasberg is a program for kids and teens interested in developing a strong foundation in Lee Strasberg’s Method Acting. The program is part of The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, where the curriculum designed by Lee Strasberg includes classwork, seminars, exercises, scene work, and discussions related to The Method. The Method trains actors to use their physical, mental, and emotional selves in the creation of a play’s characters and stresses the way personal experience can fuel the actor’s imagination.
Teachers conducting classes have been selected for their comprehensive knowledge of Lee Strasberg’s work and their ability to apply it to the problems of the actor. The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute was established in 1969 and is dedicated to the ideals, values, and vision of Lee Strasberg’s innovative work, known as The Method. The Institute states that its goal is to provide students with a craft that will help them create a reality and respond truthfully in imaginary circumstances, regardless of the style or form of material being used. At the Institute, actors learn to express powerful emotions and are encouraged to leave behind conventional, superficial, and clichéd expressions in search of their own unique artistic voices. The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute is the only acting school in the world that teaches Lee Strasberg’s work in its consummate form, and it is an institutionally accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST). The Los Angeles Institute is licensed to operate by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute is a private for-profit C-Corporation and also operates a private not-for-profit branch, The Lee Strasberg Creative Center.
One testimonial from a student states, “My time here has made me reveal such incredible inner truths about myself; certain realities that I thought never existed and indeed thought I could never release.” Another testimonial says, “I can say that going to The Lee Strasberg Institute was one of the best things I’ve decided to do in my life!”
