MEET OUR TEACHERS
"One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity - to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You're eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you. All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you."
-Meryl Streep
