Summer Acting Programs NYC - http://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com/summer-acting-programs/summer-acting-program-nyc-anesia-saunders Best Summer Acting Programs NYC - Maggie Flanigan Studio Call 917-789-1599 Summer acting programs at the Maggie Flanigan Studio include the six-week Meisner Summer Intensive, as well as other acting classes for professional actors. In this video Anesia Saunders discusses how the summer acting program helped her understand what it means to train as a serious actor. Q: Anesia, what did you think of acting classes and professional training before you started the six week Summer Meisner Intensive? A: To train as a serious actor I thought it had a lot to do with just doing scene work. I've done some training and I've done to the acting classes before. I wasn't exactly sure of what it was to train as a serious actor. I was in for a big surprise. Q: What happened to you during this six weeks that changed your perspective on acting and training? A: I think I've convinced myself that acting had nothing to do with myself but it was sacrifice of self. I think that that was true to an extent but I would say, that I learned it has so much to do with yourself. Knowing yourself. Knowing and being comfortable with who you are in order to really be a performer I think that's something that I learned. Q: What did you learn about yourself that was a surprise and that changed you? A: I just learn that I have, well I had and am still battling, fear of self. A lot of things that holds me back as a person just because of socialization. Some things that you feel you need to abide by to be a specific way but that's not conducive to being a performer. I was able to recognize those things this summer. The things that really are making me stagnant and break free from the and just explore and play, really have fun. Q: Was there something specifically that happened in class, like a specific class, working on the activity, the scene, watching your classmates work, was there a role that Charlie kept giving you that you had to confront and realize this is a big issue and you can't move forward with that. Maybe I'm not going to be the actor or the performer that I hope to be. A: The main thing that I really realized kept coming up was, "Are you afraid to defend yourself? Are you afraid to speak up for yourself?" That really was the issue and I had to confront that. I recognize in class I just had an epiphany and said aloud, "I've always been fearful of being an angry black woman stereotype." It was that day I went home and cried and realized Charlie helps me recognize that I am entitled to my feelings and I deserve to have them. Recognizing the power in that has opened so many doors for me. Q: You mentioned you've had some training before. You've studied at other places, how does the work you've done in the past six seeks compared to the work that you've done previously? A: I've taken acting classes here and there but this Summer Intensive, this opportunity to work consistently. For the time periods that were working and then the time that we're putting in out of class I feel like it was at times it felt like a lot, it was a lot of pressure, but I feel like it made all the difference having this time spent to really focus on the work and focus on training and focus on yourself all at the same time was so important. I just really appreciate it and I feel like it was exactly what I needed at the exact time. It was fate.
