Summer Acting Program - Maggie Flanigan Studio 02

Summer Acting Program - Maggie Flanigan Studio 02 Q: What did you learn about yourself that was a surprise or that changed you? The dedication. If you want it, you got to get it. This is New York, this is a hustle and bustle town. You can’t just wake up and be like, “I feel good. I’m going to work in today.” You’ve got to put in that work every day and get it and grind and move. Really do it for yourself and for the career, because if you want this for you, then you’ll go and get it and you find whatever you can to get it. Q: You lived in LA previously. Correct. Q: What is the biggest difference between training in LA to training in New York? Actors in LA work out in the gym, New York actors work out in the theater. That’s all I have to say about that. Q: Since you did study at some other studios and with other teachers, how has Maggie Flanigan Studio been different? It is very honed in. They’re not just going to take anybody and put them through the mill. If you are serious about this craft and you show dedication and you show commitment, the studio will give that back to you and give that opportunity of whatever they can and it’s upon yourself to get it. That’s what different about this studio is that they care, they’re willing to work with you. Just come in and get it for yourself. Q: What has the sense of community been like here for you over the course of the six weeks? I think it starts with our teacher, Charlie. He has really made an impact on our class and has really brought our class together and really has inspired all of us. It’s pretty crazy to see everybody at the beginning of the class be nervous and scared and then six weeks later they’re doing scenes and breaking down. It’s phenomenal and I have to pay respect to Charlie, our teacher. He’s able to do that, he’s so confident about that and I really appreciate that. Q: What’s it like to be in class and have a bad day? Be in class and have a bad day. You know what, for me, sometimes I bring it in and I’m sitting there, but when you see your teacher Charlie or when you see other classmates and you have a passion for your craft and you want to get in and get up on that stage and you just want to let it out. You can, because it’s allowed, it’s a safe space. We all have problems. You know what, use that use that for your craft in a way.
