Continuing on through a compact hallway a grouping of aspiring actors filled the area. It felt like family was returning with each person laughing, playing and eagerly awaiting to get involved! Alan Gordon gave each performer their due time, while keeping the class moving, fun and entertaining. A firm teacher, but a delightful elegance about how he educated us with actor stories of old.

To be a student in the class of an inspired teacher is the best! Alan Gordon's recent "Point of View" workshop helped me take stock of how long it had been since I last had a playground on which to consistently practice the fundamentals and grow more in-tune. Listening and becoming sensitized to every nuance your partner gives you in each moment becomes the actor's most alive tools. This aliveness stems from a visceral focus on the other person, which helped me get out of nervousness in my head, and a wanting to 'be good'. By not hesitating, Alan Gordon compels actors toward fearlessness - Truth are the moments we all feel in our deepest guts, and when witnessed an audience reacts most powerfully. A team in art is lovely and Alan Gordon has created a studio for serious, truthful play, a community for honesty and imagination to feed our souls, hence art. Thank you Alan Gordon Studio! Cheers to many more instructive evenings!" ~ Katrina Perkins
