The Actors Movement Studio, also known as the Actor Movement Conservatory, is a teaching facility for actors in the Hells Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. == History == The Actors Movement Studio was founded in 1975 by Loyd Williamson devoted solely to training the actors body and voice; the acting instrument. It is also known as the home of the Williamson’s Technique which has been the foundation of the studio’s teaching principles since its inception. The Williamson Technique is a physical technique for acting that rose out of the work and methods of the “Group Theater”, thereby making it an American pedagogy developed by American actor and movement teacher dedicated to finding a way to answer Stanislavski’s search for a method to train the actor's instrument, the actor's body. Williamson began the creation of his work in 1971 out of which grew the founding of AMS in 1975. It was a hub for actors who wanted to develop an acting instrument that could process the emotional demands of group theater methods which sought to train an actor who is vulnerable and viscerally connected to imaginary circumstances. The origins of the work were in Williamson's concentration in dance and poetry. During his work with Sanford Meisner in the early 1970s, Loyd Williamson was inspired to develop a method that could be as a physical training counterpart to Sanford Meisner’s acting technique or method. The Technique became a popular method of training actors who were studying the Meisner acting method at acting studios such as William Esper Studio and others. This technique was developed through Williamson training with mentor Anna Sokolow, with whom he worked for twelve years, and performed in her Players Project. He studied with Michael Howard, Sanford Meisner and director Harold Clurman. He also worked for two years assisting Michael Shurtleff. The group theater was a major influence in the development of Williamson’s technique; Anna Sokolow in movement, Sanford Meisner in acting and the founder Harold Clurman. Recently Williamson received a lifetime achievement award from the Association of Theatre Movement Educators, and was also a part of the task force that created their mission statement and goals. Williamson was an actor's coach and choreographer for Andrei Koncholovsky's film ''Maria's Lovers'' with Nastassja Kinsky and Robert Mitchum; Amos Poe's ''Alphabet City'' with Vincent Spano and Zohra Lampert, and acting coach in Jerzy Skolimowski's film ''Torrents of Spring'' with Nastassja Kinsky and Timothy Hutton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Actors Movement Studio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
