Six Week Summer Acting Programs New York - Call Maggie Flanigan Studio Call 917-789-1599
The Meisner Summer Intensive at the Maggie Flanigan Studio allows actors to experience the first part of the professional actor training program as initially conceived by Sanford Meisner. In this section of the interview at the studio, Austin Kairis talks about starting the six-week summer acting program.
Q: Austin, tell me about your background in acting before you started the Six-Week Summer Intensive at Maggie Flanigan Studio.
A: My experience in acting before I came to Maggie Flanigan was pretty much just high school, president of the drama club, things like that. It wasn't anything super challenging, and it was just fun. It was always something I loved. When I was 12, I was the lead in a college production. That was my lead to things. My family doesn't know anything about acting, so we had no idea how to get into the business, so I was doing like a community--
My parents didn't even want me to be in it necessarily, but they knew that I liked to do it. They found a community college that I auditioned for. I was the lead in this community college play. That just trickled into high school and things like that. Then we found out that you should get an agent or something like that in Chicago, so I got one, but that took a little bit different route with modeling and stuff. I had a one-liner on Chicago Fire and a one-liner in a movie that was shot in Chicago. I didn't have any technique at all. It was pretty much just luck, maybe raw talent, and only my charisma.
Q: What were you doing before you came to the studio? Were you studying anywhere else in New York, were you taking classes, auditioning?
A: I was not auditioning at all in New York, but I did take a few classes at Susan Batson Studio. I did like it, but I didn't have any foundation to use. Also, I'm not 100% sure I love the Strasberg technique. I want to learn more about it may be. I do like Meisner a lot. I studied at UCB. I love comedy. I feel like there was a part of me which I still love comedy and it hits hard. I have a lot of respect for it, but there was part of me that thought I wasn't severe enough to do dramatic work.
After talking to some friends, I heard Maggie Flanigan come up over and over and over again. I've always known when I studied on Stella Adler, Meisner, Strasberg; I always knew that Meisner was something that I wanted to do. I thought I had a vivid imagination and I feel like this is the one that takes advantage of that. That's how I knew I wanted to do this program.
