Chekhov-Lecoq International Studio of Acting and Movement

I have been in other acting schools in New York, but CLISAM is really different (as cliche as that sounds). The teacher, John Charles Murphy makes your experience in his class unique and personal, and his innovative approach works from where you are and takes you where you want to go. I believe that, for both actors in training and working actors, with CLISAM you can take your acting to the next level. This is my first review, and I want to share with my fellow actors something extraordinary --that working in such a stimulating environment where the teacher really allows us to invest ourselves in a character, providing the tools needed to produce compelling results, in the end, teaches us how to keep our work always fresh and truthful. I love this studio and I highly recommend it! more

I so appreciate to have found CLISAM. Both working actors and actors in training can find here a creative space where they can feel safe and empowered to explore and grow. The teacher is amazing! With John Murphy's guidance, critiques and method, acting is simple and you learn to keep your work spontaneous and original. I highly recommend it. more
