Lee Strasberg on Acting (Clip 1)
Today the Strasberg legacy continues at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute where his concepts are taught to the serious actor of today. His technique has generated an exciting new legion of actors such as Alec Baldwin, Angelina Jolie, Claire Daines, Scarlett Johansson, Bridget Fonda, Uma Thurman, Rebecca De Mornay, John Leguizamo. The Theatre world today is filled with discussions about acting - the Stanislavski system, the controversy about the Method, the laboratory work of Grotowski, the experiments of the Living Theatre, the theories of Artaud, of Brecht, and many others. Nonetheless, it remains true that for over 2000 years the problem of the actor has been misunderstood and has been superficially divided into an external or internal approach.
Now, through our expanding knowledge of human behavior, The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute is able to train actors to use both their physical and emotional expression in order to do ultimate justice to their own talent and artistic voice.
