The Prague Playhouse acting classes are taking on a new life. Moving to Mondays and Wednesdays, the class is going to start looking much more like a rehearsal with scene work and working towards producing a play. We are interested in getting a core group of people together who will rehearse and study. The core group will encourage others to participate. The classes will still be in Czech and in English, but if there is a great response we might move to separate classes for people who aren’t bi-lingual.
Anyone who’s interested should give send me an sms to 608 577 012.

Casting workshop I focuses on strategies and methods for the film casting. Actors critique actual video-taped castings, and participate in a mock casting process using film scripts. Each participant will have an opportunity to work one-on-one in front of the camera with Nancy.
Advanced Casting Workshop is for students who have completed Workshop I and wish to study scene work in more depth. The workshop explores film acting techniques through a set of on camera exercises. Each participant will perform two scenes from diverse genres (for example one Sci-Fi and one comedy) for camera with coaching from Nancy.

V dubnu 2003 zacal vyucovat Meisnerovu metodu, zprvu aby ziskal schopne “sparring partnery” pro vlastni pripravu. Diky zajmu studentu se vsak hodiny herectvi staly pravidelne a otevrene vsem zajemcum.

in general
The Prague Playhouse acting classes are for adults who want to work seriously on their acting craft. For Prague residents, both Czechs and English-speaking foreigners, there aren’t very many options to work in a cosistant and productive way. Aside from the odd play and the thirty second commercial auditions, there isn’t a place for working actors to come and sharpen the tools that they have. The Prague Playhouse School works from the teachings of Sanford Meisner, a member of the Group Theater and one of the most innovative and influential acting teachers of our time, as taught by the Playhouse West School in Los Angeles.

the teacher
Brian Caspe grew up in California and studied music at the University of California, San Diego. While at the University, he worked in many plays with the theater department and also attended acting classes. After graduation, Brian moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. In LA, Brian studied acting at Playhouse West where he learned Meisner technique.
In the spring of 2001, Brian left LA and moved to Prague, where he has been acting in movies (Hellboy, Illusionist, Revelations, Young Hannibal among others IMDB) and commercials (Oskar, Pepto Bismal, Bass Ale, Stella Artois, Bacardi…more than 30 in all). He started teaching Meisner technique in April of 2003 simply because he wanted people to work with. Commercial auditions don’t really count as working on your acting! Since then, the acting class has grown in size and mission and Brian has high hopes for the future.
