Now Enrolling for Fall Quarter 2006
Method Acting for film and theater.
The Jean Shelton Actors Lab is nationally recognized as one
of the finest professional film and theatre schools for actors and directors.
The Lab is recommended by agents, casting offices, directors, and filmmakers
as one of the leading schools in the country.
Founders Robert Elross and Jean Shelton brought with them
from New York an extensive knowledge of method acting for film and theater. Past
faculty included: legendary Stella Adler (teacher of Brando, De Niro), Harold
Clurman (finest mind in the American Theater), Jack Garfien (Filmmaker and Head
of Actors Studio Los Angeles), Wendell Phillips (Broadway Actor/Director/Teacher
and member of the legendary Group Theatre and teacher for the Actors Studio in
New York), Robert Elross (New York Actor/Director considered one of the finest
actors in the country) and Jean Shelton has been a talent consultant for major
agencies and television networks, and an acting coach for feature films and
television. She has assembled the finest staff available and thoroughly trained
them to teach her Acting Technique and Multi- disciplinary programs using the
techniques from some of the best minds in the country.
Students at the Jean Shelton Actors Lab gain much more than
the all-to-common experience of acting in front of other students; they gain the
art and craft of acting which lasts for life and applies to all mediums, they gain
the love of acting as an art form and they gain the inspiration to dedicate
themselves to working professionally as actor/artists. Our history is unparalled
in the caliber of our teachers and our students have joined the ranks of some of
the finest actors in America.
Jean Shelton Actors Lab Students have won Academy Awards, Emmy
Awards, Tony Awards, Obie Awards and countless local awards. Jean Shelton is a
recipient of the Bay Area Critics Circle, Payne Knickerbocker Lifetime Achievement
Award.
We develop independent actors which possess a strong imagination,
a keen intellect, an open heart and a rich humanity.
