Actors Door Studio

Part Time Drama SchoolProfessional Acting Training | BEAT | Beck Emotional Access Technique | Meisner Technique | Acting Classes | Audition Workshops | Scene/Text AnalysisThe Actors Door Studio is a London based acting studio with a singular approach to teaching acting. The basis of the acting training is BEAT or the Beck Emotional Access Technique.BEAT, defined as a holistic approach to teaching acting, aims to disengage the actor’s emotional connection to ‘things’ in their own world thus freeing them up to attach those emotions to ‘things’ in the character’s world. By ‘things’ we mean circumstances, objects, places and people. Fay Beck’s technique allows the actor to access emotions that are intrinsic to them and gives them the tools to apply those emotions to character for the purpose of delivering the story. The technique, while it uses some common exercises in the Meisner Technique, is distinct and foundationally different from it, particularly its understanding of character, emotions, action and purpose.BEAT is a fully developed, dynamic and integrated approach to training actors that feels more like a creative re-awakening rather than a method of acting. BEAT actors are able to ‘enter’ character instinctively. This is the goal of the technique. They are trained to feel, think, move, sound and feel like the character they seek to embody.In addition to training in BEAT, the Actors Door Studio offers classes in Voice, Movement and Screen Acting to compliment the actor’s training.
