THE FOLSTER STUDIO
An Artistic Home for the Actor
Where Classical Technique Meets Modern Innovation
“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.”
Our work utilizes and synthesizes the best in
actor training and development.
The work at the Studio is divided into four parts: Instrument, Technique, Script Interpretation and Scene Study. Particular attention is applied to Characterization and how that character exists within the world of that particular story. Steeped in the Method, Adler and Meisner techniques while including Sean’s own innovations such as Script Inquiry®, the Givens Workout and The Map For Building the Role, we cultivate a specific, fluid way of working particularly well-suited to the professional challenges and fast turnaround times of today’s actor.
The process is highly individualized, adapting to each actors' particular strengths and challenges, guiding them on the road to greater truth, specificity and freedom.
Our diverse community of members ranges in experience from folks just starting out to professionals who can be seen regularly in everything from Academy Award-nominated films, to major film festivals (Cannes, Tribeca, South By Southwest, etc.), to every major television network and streaming platform available, to Broadway, Off and Off-Off-Broadway, National Tours and Regional Theatre.
