The workshops are taught to develop the actor’s imagination, flexibility, focus, responsiveness, emotional intelligence, and vitality. These short-term workshops consist of a course on the Meisner Technique, as developed by Sanford Meisner of The Neighborhood Playhouse (New York), and a class on Scene Study based on the teachings of Uta Hagen. Carole Zucker, the instructor, trained at The Neighborhood Playhouse and HB Studios (with Uta Hagen) in New York City. Zucker has taught courses in film acting and method acting for over thirty years, and regularly offers private tutoring for auditions. She is universally acclaimed for her insight, devotion, and her ability to release her students’ creative energies and emotions. Many of her students have gone on to further studies in acting and careers in television, film, and the theatre.
The workshops are given annually in East Anglia (UK) and Montreal, Canada.

Carole Zucker has been called The Actor’s Guru (Montreal Mirror). She trained as an actor, having studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse, and with Uta Hagen at HB Studios, both in New York City. She has performed in numerous off-Broadway productions and in regional theatre in the U.S. and Canada. Carole has spent the last three decades studying and teaching acting workshops, and is considered one of the foremost authorities on the acting process.
Carole has a doctorate from New York University in Cinema Studies, and teaches Cinema Studies at Concordia University (Montreal, Canada.) She is the first university professor in Canada to design a course specifically devoted to film acting, a course she continues to offer regularly at the university.
