What Students Are Saying
-
One of the skills Mark brings out of performers is the ability to do something in a new or more honest way, more often. Having worked with Mark for over a year now, I've embraced many choices he's encouraged me to try. The time it takes for me to go from, "I'm not sure" to an enthusiastic and committed "Yes" has shortened significantly. My insecurities about my ability to execute a vulnerable or bold choice (from Mark or an impulse) kept me from making those choices immediately. In class recently, a lesson I synthesized from Mark was, "Less Ready, Set. More Go.

When I started working with Mark, I was unsure if acting was something I was going to pursue. I had taken a bunch of classes during my time at NYU, but never as an adult. I came to class slightly intimidated by my lack of experience, however this rapidly dissipated as Mark created a safe and welcoming environment. Not to mention I always have a blast in his class whether it be the exercises he has us do when acting out a scene (a personal favorite is when he has us put on a different accent to get us out of our own head) or the community and relationships he helps cultivate within our class.

I cannot begin to explain the impact Mark’s classes have had on my life, let alone my acting. Mark has taught me so much on how to not only express my emotions, but to actually FEEL and allow them. This is obviously something that is very scary and hard to do for any human and is something I am continuing to work on. I don’t think I would have ever been able to begin to discover myself in that way without his influence.

His passion, talent and love for the work bleeds into every class he teaches. It is inspiring and contagious and an honor to be part of the community.
