GFCA in NEW YORK & LOS ANGELES

Giles Foreman teaches in NYC and LA! 

GFCA in the USA – workshops are designed to introduce NY & LA actors to the work of the Drama Centre, London, as taught when Giles trained there, and as he now teaches at GFCA London, Paris and other European cities.

The training is essentially a fusion of Stanislavski, the American evolution of the method, with European classicism and the extraordinary work of Yat Malmgren – a fascinating analysis of human expression accompanied by a series of practical acting exercises that lead the actor to psychologically and physically accurate transformation, using Shakespeare’s characters (amongst others) as a basis.

To reserve a place in a workshop, please contact us for details.
