4worldlovers: Choosing the right acting training program can steer the future of your acting career. The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute is renowned for teaching Method Acting in its purest form. The teachings and legacy of Lee Strasberg’s Method are maintained by his widow, Anna Strasberg (Creative Director and Co-Founder), and his son, David Lee Strasberg (Creative Director and CEO at the Los Angeles campus).

The Los Angeles campus was founded in 1969 as the home for Lee Strasberg’s private class when he came to work with his students in Hollywood. The original location was on Hollywood Boulevard at the historic intersection of Hollywood and Highland a few steps from Mr. Strasberg’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In 1978, the Institute moved into its current studio space. A former bank, the campus is a two-story building containing 19,456 square feet, and now houses two workshop theatres (49 seat and 99 seat), Theatre Lounge and a newly upgraded Soundstage for on-camera classes on its ground floor. The second floor boasts multiple studio spaces (acting and a dance studio) and a screening room. The new building on Santa Monica Boulevard serves as the Hollywood home for Method Acting on the West Coast. The campus is overseen by Lee’s son, David Lee Strasberg. It offers a rigorous education in Method Acting that transitions from stage to screen. The Los Angeles school offers the only degree program offered specifically in Lee Strasberg’s work— a two year Associate degree program. Part time and shorter full time programs are also available, as are invite-only Lab classes for more alumni, advanced students and working actors.

The Los Angeles campus is centrally located in the city of West Hollywood, the cultural and geographical heart of Los Angeles. Surrounded by film and television studios, independent production companies and casting offices, the Los Angeles campus places students at the center of the entertainment capital of the world. You can find the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute’s LA campus right next to the main intersection of Fairfax Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard or just less than 2 miles away from the Sunset Strip.

When Lee Strasberg defined what is popularly known as Method Acting he used a simple declarative sentence:

“Method Acting is what all actors have always done whenever they acted well.”

The Method trains actors to use their imagination, senses and emotions to conceive of characters with unique and original behavior, creating performances grounded in the human truth of the moment.
