 SANDE SHURIN ACTING STUDIOS

Home of Transformational Acting

LaMama is archiving the fervent beginnings of off-off Broadway by archiving
and honoring many of the innovators that started and nourished the movement.
On Saturday April 5th @ 3PM they will be presenting Sande Shurin  to
celebrate a career of many facets that had its origin in the 1970s off-off
Broadway movement. This will take place at the historic LaMama. 74 East 4th
Street (Between 2nd Ave & Bowery). No reservations necessary. Let us know
you're coming or just show up.

Our film "TRUE LOVE" starring our students Michael Masini, Agatha Relota, Alfredo Taylor-White and Gynogi Henson & directed by Sande Shurin, screenplay by Bruce Levy showed in New York at the New York International Film & Video Festival  at the Village East Cinema's July 2007 and showed at the Woodstcok Film Festival in October. Thanks to all who came and supported us. TRUE LOVE made its way to the Miami Short Film Festival November 30th and has been picked up for international distribution.

Our newest film MUSEUM SCANDALS directed by Sande Shurin starring students Patricia Panarella, Jill Knell, Bruce Levy and Gyongyi Henson is currently in post production.

TRANSFORMATIONAL ACTING — INNER CHANGE

This is the ability of actors to utilize their current feelings and raw selves in order to transform who they are ... their emotional ranges and their psyches into that of the characters they portray. In doing so, they function, take action, and live the reality and lifestyle of these characters, without utilization of the past or imagining the future.

This is all accomplished by using what you, as the actor, are really feeling and who you are.  

The Future of Acting

By using your unique self, Transformational Acting gives you access to your creativity, humanity and the ability to take risks and work boldly.

A Beyond Sense Memory technique to develop your ability to use current emotions rather than recalling from the past. This enables actors to be completely present. The result is a brilliantly spontaneous and engaging performance, that fulfills the intention of the material.


Transformational Acting: A Step Beyond,
Sande's book, is now available.

SANDE'S MESSAGES
    
        Sande's Message for 2008

       
ACTUALIZE YOUR POTENTIAL!

        Your potential is already in you along with the probabilities of your future projects. Take LEAPS            OF FAITH!  Everything is on the other side of challenging your fears and doubts. Say YES!,
                    Defy  convention and turn a slippery slope into an exciting one as you manifest your dreams.

        Blessings and good fortune in the new year.

        Bruce & Sande
        
       
         
        Sande's Message for 2007 

"PENETRATE THE DEEP WEALTH OF YOUR INNER RESOURCES, TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION AND SOAR TO THE HEIGHTS OF A LIFE WELL LIVED"

"THRU DESIRE PLUS INTENTION WE HAVE PASSION"

    Desire also designs our inner raw material

    Thru our desires we have preferences

    Thru our preferences we take action

    Thru our actions we expand

    Thru our expansions the entire universe expands

Take meaningful action and experience the exuberance and exhilaration of being unstoppable.

To an extraordinary and unstoppable New Year.

Sande & Bruce

Sande's Message for the Year 2006

Miracles Still Exist.

We may be living through some of the most difficult times in history, and many of us may give up on miracles. But miracles only stop when we give up. Especially during these perilous times we must surrender to and trust the universe to show us the way. It is during this process of surrender and trust when doors to unexpected miracles occur.

When we say ³surrender² we don¹t mean stop. It is time to push our limits beyond our beliefs, push open our creativity beyond any limitations, and surrender to and trust the universe. Doors will appear that you never realized were even there and behind each of these new doors is a miracle.

Wishing you many new doors this coming year.

Sande and Bruce

Sande's Message for the Year 2005

We live in a world of limits, but the limits are self-imposed. No matter how graceful or difficult a life we choose, it is by choice, and our reality can be transformed, reshaped or altered at any time. The world of creativity and spirit are one. This is where intentions manifest and quantum leaps occur. Quantum leaps are unpredictable growths, events, experiences and capabilities.

Go beyond the edges of your world, as you now know it to be, into the world of creativity and spirit seeking a limitless life.

To success in 2005
Sande Shurin and Bruce Levy

Sande's Message for the Year 2004

A true artist looks at making a difference in the world with his art. This requires the artist to bring two seemingly disparate worlds together: the creative and spiritual with the physical.

The great creative breakthroughs happen when these two worlds align.

Our inner creative self, our awareness, our higher consciousness, our spirit, our soul, along with our body and actions can and do become one mind ... one purpose. The physical and the spirit are interwoven, the source of art and creativity emanating from the spirit and carried into through the physical.

Look for the inner invisible self--which lives within--to manifest through your entire body, your entire life. Create art, create life, manifest your dreams and express your purpose in every action you take, every thought you think, every deed you do.

Living your life in the "now," as we aspire to do in Transformational Acting, calls on the inner, creative self to align with the physical.

What a wonderful world this could be, living in the now, harnessing the creative/spiritual with the physical.

Natural, effortless peace?

Perhaps.

 

Sande Shurin and Bruce Levy

May we continue to create, prosper, transform, and unite.
