This acting course incorporates voice work, physical improvisation and scene study. In keeping with our mission to promote international theatre by living artists, we will draw on texts by contemporary playwrights from around the world. Students will have the choice to work on American texts or translate their scene or monologue into English from a native language.

While initially excited about the classes, students finish the course raving about their experience, particularly the instruction of Manisha Snoyer. One such testimonial:

• "I took Manisha's class last year, and it was one of the most brilliant expriences I've had in New York City...If New York to you means what it does to me -- and that is pushing your boundaries to grow and always be better -- then this class is where you need to be. It's a wonderful challenge and something that will stay with you forever." - Natalia (from Astoria)
