Advanced Technique
with Antonio Merenda
Locations: NYC
New Workshop Beginning February 2026!
For actors who have been thoroughly trained in Stella Adler’s acting technique and are eager to continue deepening their craft, this workshop offers an ongoing space for exploration, discipline, and growth. Under the expert guidance of senior technique instructor Antonio Merenda, students will sharpen their tools, stretch their range, and maintain a consistent practice rooted in imagination, action, and character work.
This class is designed to provide high-level reps, personalized coaching, and a rigorous artistic environment where actors can challenge their habits, take bold risks, and reignite their connection to the core principles of Stella Adler’s teachings through monologues and scene work. Ideal for Conservatory and NYU Tisch alumni, workshop students who have completed through Acting Technique 3 or professional actors seeking to keep their technique alive and evolving.
