Professional Acting Studio partners with Grand Rapids Theatre

By: Brittney Schering

Beginning in October 2010, the Kurt Dreyer Acting Studio will provide foundational studies for actors of all levels at Dog Story Theater, a live performance venue located in downtown Grand Rapids.

The Kurt Dreyer Acting Studio, located at 496 Lincoln Ave in Holland, was created with the sole purpose of providing a stable and safe environment for actors and artists. At the studio, they are able to develop and hone their craft and skills as well as network within the artistic community.

Dreyer longed to provide this environment to aspiring actors in Grand Rapids. This decision, he says, was driven by student demand. The new partnership will focus on a goal of developing, promoting, and supporting the performing arts and artists in West Michigan.

The 12-week program is based on the highly regarded teachings and techniques of Uta Hagen and Howard Fine. It will be offered at Dog Story Theater, as well as a scene-study program for graduates of the "Comprehensive Techniques" course and seasoned actors who will audition for a spot in the studio.

Prospective students for the Acting Studio are invited to schedule an appointment by calling Jennifer Jelsema at (616) 594-0724 or by emailing info@kurtdreyer.com.
