ABOUT US
CONSERVATORY is an institution committed to extending its experience and knowledge by cultivating and empowering our hard working actors.
Our philosophy is grounded in the notion that a repeated systematic approach to training is the key to learning the craft of acting. Knowing that there is no such thing as two of a kind in this work, we specifically focus on individual growth at the indivdual level, with the direct objective to inspire and release in the actor their true potential and ability - no matter what experience level the actor is currently working at. At CONSERVATORY we work with elements of widely recognized and renowned systems but focus primarily on the practice and research related to Michael Chekhov’s psycho-physical approach and its many forms of application - this focus has been proven to provide the necessary inspiring techniques and tools which can be directly incorporated into the actors work to support their choices. Having instructed hundreds of actors, Glickman has blended different methods together with the Chekhov system to design a clear and effective process for the actor - one that provides specific tools and direct means for an actor to recognize what they really want to do on stage, live spontaneously moment to moment and take ACTIONS they never thought capable.
It's not a mystery that an actor must learn a skill set, practice their craft and ultimately develop their own unique and individual approach to the work. Finding a SAFE and PROTECTED space to get in, ”WORK OUT" and push yourself creatively can be very challenging. CONSERVATORY is that space; a space defined as one of research and discovery where personal development is fostered by the notion of understanding and making the necessary committment to oneself.
