Sande Shurin's enlightened acting technique is a determined effort to steer away from intellectual, theory-based instruction to a more creative and viscerally human approach. It moves beyond teaching how to represent a character or various emotions toward living a role with in-the-moment identification and urgency. The goal of Sande Shurin's transformational acting is to bring both the actor and the character into the same body. To do this requires, first, finding the differences and similarities that divide and link the actor and the role being performed; and second, imagining the entire life of the character -- including what is hidden on the stage or on the screen.

STAR POWER establishes a new wave of Acting. It speaks to current and relevant issues that creative Actors are grappling with: How do I BE authentic and respond from my truth and still BE the character? How do I respond spontaneously and still fulfill the Director's vision? How do I bring my rich inner imaginative world out to be visible in the material world? What is the theIT factor?
