Acting Workshops Los Angeles – The Golden Box with Michelle Danner

.

LEARN THE BEST ACTING TECHNIQUES FOR FILM ACTING & AUDITIONING

.

The Michelle Danner Acting Studio’s philosophy is that artists can draw upon all different acting techniques and form an individual toolbox. In one of our Acting Workshops Los Angeles “the Golden Box” we will help you to develop your own “Golden Box” of techniques and tools. Those techniques and tools can be used when approaching a role or a scene, for film, television, or theater. The Acting School’s acting techniques are based on Meisner, Strasberg, Adler, Hagen, Chekhov & the Stanislavsky Technique. The Golden Box, taught by Michelle Danner, is a two-day in depth interactive lecture that breaks down the technical map used at The Michelle Danner acting school.

Goals of this Acting Workshop

The Golden Box will teach you how to get out of your head, follow your impulses, and begin to live completely in the moment. By finding your own unique emotional triggers, you will learn to access your full range of feelings and emotions at a moment’s notice. Learn how to create vivid, fleshed out, and interesting characters through an intense and emotional workshop. Supported with lectures and technique exercises. Michelle teaches a technique that is effective for actors of various skill levels. Actors around the world have found success studying with Michelle, because she takes the emphasis off the dogmatic method and helps actors discover their own creativity.

The class focuses on answering the following questions:

• Why are some choices more powerful than others?
• How does one deliver a raw unforgettable performance?
• What specific tools can be applied to film, television, and stage work?
• How does one develop a personal story from scratch and discover material for a one woman/man show, screenplay, short or novel?

“Best experience of my life”

“Firstly, everyone should go through this phenomenal journey.  I recently took the class “Golden Box” with Michelle Danner. It was the best experience of my life! I recommend every person to take this acting class! Furthermore the Golden Box is not just an acting class you need in order to be a great actor. It also also helps you be a great human being. She teaches you humility. Michelle taught us how to use our triggers to benefit us when acting. We cried, we laughed, we were angry, and happy. It will inspire you and motivate you to be the best actor you can be. In conclusion: I am so happy I took this class and I will definitely take it again.” – Marylu

“Michelle will give you a tool box every actor needs”

“Fantastic and great acting technique class! For any actor wanting to go deeply into character analysis and learning to use their emotion at will! Michelle Danner will give you: a tool box every actor needs with dozens of exercises, hundreds of useful tips, great friendly and conversational atmosphere and thousands of smart words and thoughts. This acting technique class was well worth my time. She is a respected top acting coach and you can see why after taking this 2 day intensive. Michelle showed the actors in the class so many advanced and special ways of working on developing characters. In addition she also taught us how to go deeper emotionally and how to find literally ANY emotion. This emotion can be used in developing in dept multi layered characters. Both days passed so fast, that it was sad when it ended.” – Alex D.

Michelle’s knowledge on acting made me realize that my goals are attainable. Furthermore she taught me that there are tangible steps I can take to broaden my skill set.
