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.

Marlon Brando said Lee Strasberg would take credit for the Sun and the Moon if he could. A self-serving publicist and mediocrity.

he is a legend. wonderful!

[johnsammyanfal]

'Training' in the Strasberg method is just a complete waste of time and money. Its appeal - a sort of emotional confessional by the actor - is what makes it such self-indulgent garbage. Its comparable to ‘art therapy’: where the client squirts and thrashes explosions of color on a blank canvass; feels cathartically refreshed afterwards and in touch with a deeper reality. But all he has created is a confused mess because he understands nothing about his craft and the aesthetics of performance.

@johnsammyanfal

marlon brando also said that hollywood is run by jews. I don't think we can take his commentary seriously

@biggs6108 You use your natural abilities when you go to med school too. But you still need to study and train hard and diligently. There isn't a single amazing actor who hasn't gone to some sort of school first. Even the great Brando and on the other side, Olivier, were involved in extensive training. Possibly the greatest actor alive right now, Daniel Day Lewis, spent four years at the Bristol Old Vic in England.
