At the beginning of each session, we provide a New Student Webinar free of charge for all new ASC students. This dynamic and useful introduction to Michael Shurtleff's Guideposts is led by actor, director, and faculty member, Kurt Naebig and acquaints students to the common language and practices of the studio.

"The clarity that the Shurtleff method gave me definitely surpassed my expectations and gave me a definitive method to use when preparing scenes. I 100% would take another class as well as recommend to a friend." — Past student Siubhan Stormont
