Stella Adler Technique with Milton Justice
April 14th to 19th, 2025 | Monday to Friday – 5:00 to 9:30 pm + one Saturday | In Berlin

Through her work with Stanislavsky, Stella Adler developed a definitive and now famous approach to acting, having trained such acting luminaries as Marlon Brando and Robert DiNiro. Her exercises demonstrate the accessible fundamentals of approaching a play and a screenplay. From deciphering the core idea of the text, to exploring character, action, circumstance and background, each exercise propels the actor experientially through the evolution of a part. Each class will begin with basic technique exercises. The goal is to move from general to specific. Educated imagination – informed empathy – stimulated choices. Milton Justice: As an acting teacher he has had the privilege of coaching, teaching and directing a wide range of actors including Mark Ruffalo, Margo Martindale, Sean Astin, Kyra Sedgwick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Carmack, Chris Messina, Maura Tierney, and Patrick Stewart.
