Bruce Ornstein Acting Workshop, Manhattan

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

The classes consist of exercise work, which leads scene work and scene study. I focus on students as creative beings, using the constant expansion of our imagination as well connecting with our impulses to fuel our ability to act. The classes are relatively small, which unlike institutional settings, allows for individual attention.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

Now in its 22nd year, the Bruce Ornstein Acting Workshop began with a desire to have a class that was fun and invigorating, while simultaneously focusing on the Artist within us all.

What do you love most about your job?

What I like is to be able to see what a student needs, and be able to recognize those needs, to help bring their work to the next level. Regardless of your level of experience, or whether or not you have a desire for a career as an actor, the classes will allow you to expand yourself in your ability to create, which can often be a major empowering and even life-changing event as well.
