General Information

The sessions are on-going, paying four weeks at a time, limited to fourteen students. Actors may find their scripts from the files I provide in the studio, on their own, or write their own scenes that both challenge them, and keep them age appropriate to their scene partner.

The cost is $160 for four sessions, with a $35 refundable deposit. If you miss for any reason, it can be made up by coming to two sessions in one week so you never 'lose' the session.

​

Meisner Based Technique

Nancy Chartier Studios training is based on the Meisner Method. It's a very natural way of acting and encourages the actor to trust their instincts, be in the moment, be organic, and real.

 I absolutely love watching my Stars grow, and seeing the unique colors and individuality they are bringing to their work by discovering more layers in themselves.
