What acting method is taught at Skidmore?
We believe in a multi-faceted approach to acting and we do not champion one single methodology. We encourage actors to train with a number of different people using various methods. The actor is then the synthesis, using appropriate methods for given plays, style or roles. We combine Stanislavski-based approaches (as interpreted by Strasberg, Meissner, Adler, Hagen, and Lewis) with a strong grounding in physical-based theater training (View Points and Suzuki training, both taught by a member of Ann Bogart’s SITI Company). Classical work is also available in a number of upper level course. Students are also expected to take full advantage of our voice and movement classes.
