USA The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, New York Adam Rapp Red Light Winter Matt and Davis have known each other since college. One is an aspiring playwright who still hasn’t managed to succeed. The other is an energetic publisher who uses his authors in an aggressive and cynical way. When Matt falls into depression after suffering a string of failures and being left by his girlfriend, David suggests they take a trip to the Netherlands. Already loaded with subtext, their friendship gets even more complicated with the appearance of Christina, a young girl from Amsterdam’s red light district. This controversial play about fear – of loneliness, but especially of intimacy – earned Adam Rapp a Pulitzer Prize nomination in 2006. The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute (TFI) on New York’s 15th Street is one of the biggest acting schools in the United States. It sets standards for artists in Hollywood and on Broadway. It continues to serve as a launch pad for artists working independently of mainstream American theatre and film. It was founded in 1961 by Lee Strasberg, an actor, director, and teacher who personally trained three generations of actors, from Marilyn Monroe and James Dean to Mickey Rourke and Angelina Jolie. Work at the Institute is based on the Strasberg method, which developed out of Konstantin Stanislavsky's system. It posits a realistic acting style based on psychological construction of the character. Apart from standard, four-year programs in acting, directing and producing, the school also offers a variety of courses and acting workshops of varying levels of intensity and advancement, including the Young Actors program aimed at children and young people ages seven to eighteen. The Institute also has a branch in Los Angeles. Since Strasberg’s death in 1982, it has been run by his widow, Anna Strasberg. The school’s most famous graduates include Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Barbara Streisand, Paul Newman, Gene Wilder, Jane Fonda, Christopher Walken, Julia Roberts, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman and Scarlett Johansson. At the 2001 edition of MFST ITSelF, students of the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York presented Michael Gazzo’s adaptation of A Hatful of Rain, directed by Johanna McKeon. directing: Laura Savia scenografia: Gabriel Firestone kostiumy: Jana Bergstedt reżyseria światła i dźwięku: Eric Mercado choreografia: Lisa Kopitsky muzyka: Andrew Butler obsada: Sean Borderes (Davis), Shannon Spangler (Christina), Mike Turner (Matt) .

Our Advanced course is equivalent in level to Post Graduate study. However, the training is designed for those creative individuals - from any background - who have the capacity, ability and motivation to enter the Industry. The programme involves 30+ hours of intensive classes and rehearsal exercises per week, taught by top- level specialist coaches, each with extensive professional experience. There are in-house showings throughout the course, and plays are presented to the public and Industry during the final two terms. During the final term, as well as advanced-level classes, students may join the Spotlight Casting Graduate scheme; scenes are filmed for showreel, there are Industry events, and a range of further performance opportunities. These continue after the conclusion of the formal training. We take only a single cohort of Intensive-Route acting students each year, to provide a focussed training designed to bring out individual strengths, and we welcome applications from people from a wide variety of previous backgrounds and experience. The programme is tailored towards the unique mix of talent drawn to our centrally-located Studio from across the UK, Europe and beyond. We have excellent links with UK and European Casting Directors, as well as a base in New York, and ofer many opportunities to showcase talent to European casting directors, largely due to the strong connections formed by our Director, Giles Foreman and his extensive work as a film acting-coach.

It is host to the majority of living species, produces most of the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate and generates 60% of the ecosystem services which enable us to live.
