Acting School in Sydney

Sydney Drama School: Discover The Non-Method Way of Acting

Einstein said it: Everything is constantly evolving. So why are we still teaching acting classes as if nothing has changed in the last 70 years? At Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop acting classes in Sydney, the long-held illusions that continue to keep actors in the dark about their creative process are being shattered. IT’S REVOLUTIONARY. It’s what you always knew Sydney acting classes could be: FUN, EASY, EMPOWERING.

NO substitutions, sense memory, becoming an animal (“I think I’m a dog. No, I think I’m a snake!”). NO repetition exercises or 8 hours of scene rehearsals with your partner who’d rather be at the beach. NO memorization (“Learn those lines, dammit!”), drilling objectives or imbuing objects with personal meaning (“This coffee cup reminds me of rainbows.”). It’s just you being your great self. Refreshing, huh? So how does it work? Come watch us work at our acting school in Sydney. It’s free and fun!

“This quote that Anthony Meindl said in a class has really stuck with me. ‘Self exploration is Self realization.’ You will always leave class feeling super inspired and ready to grow and learn more.”

“I’m kind of stumped as to what to say or how to articulate what Tony and his teachings mean to me. It’s like Nirvana. He’s a guardian angel. Wherever he is I’ll follow.”

“Having done AMAW for a decade I can easily say my growth as an actor has exceeded all of my expectations as to where that would lead me. But that pales in comparison to my growth as a human being to which I’ve discovered more about myself in these classes than anywhere else, and that to me has been invaluable.”

“I started classes at AMAW during a time when my love of acting had all but died. I had been through tough personal times, felt wearied by the business, and felt I had nothing left to give. My friend Georgie was teaching at AMAW and encouraged me along to class…so began the process of falling in love with my craft again. I resonated immediately with Tony’s perspective. Trusting the moment, allowing yourself to be enough while also throwing your heart over the wall and ‘going for it’ in the scene. Allowing the bigness of your humanity to come out, no need to add or fabricate. The classes defrosted me, and returned me to the dignity of being an actor. And the fun. A lot of fun! I’m so grateful to Tony and his incredible teachers here in Sydney for bringing me back to life. Get yourself to class!”

Foundations course

This 6-week Sydney acting class meets twice a week: one working class and one lecture/observation class. The course introduces actors to the fundamentals of the AMAW philosophy and our way of working. A major shift takes place during this period – faster and more tangible than any other acting program.

Learn More

On-Going Class

After graduating from the Foundations Course, actors are evaluated by their instructor and placed in one of three Phase Levels for ongoing, month-to-month instruction. At every level you will be challenged to explore story more deeply and discover more of who you are as an actor, creator, and human being.

Learn More

Mastery Class

Actors have mastered the fundamentals of the AMAW philosophy; they are producing professional level work in an environment which is provocative, instinctual, community-oriented and “ego-free”.

TESTIMONIALS


 

“AMAW has completely changed the way I view acting and myself as an actor in the best way possible. The teachers provide such a supportive and encouraging environment to explore your craft, have fun and be a bit weird really! I am always so in awe of their amazing insights, care and talent. I’m so grateful to be a part of the AMAW community and to have met so many incredible people, it truly is something very, very special.”

– India Howorth

“AMAW Sydney is an exciting, warm, welcoming, hilarity-filled and challenging space for actors who deeply love craft and community. I am always furthered in my work, with choices carefully guided and supported by the generous teachers. It’s truly a space where anything goes and your honest, raw, full self is welcomed with very open arms!”

– Raechyl French

“AMAW is the place you go to explore the craft of being human. To discover the parts of you hidden away that you didn’t know were there until they surprise you in the moment. A space to safely push yourself and develop not only your skillset as an actor but also your ability to connect and truly be present. Lead by the most giving teachers and surrounded by the most supportive peers.”

– Sarah Watson

Fun. Easy. Empowering.

At our Sydney Drama School, you are great simply by being you!

It’s not the line that comes next, it’s the moment. Simply going to acting classes doesn’t necessarily make you great. You become great at something by doing it. The training that you get at AMAW Sydney Acting School will give you a new understanding of what it means to be truthful in your work and how to generate moment-to-moment experiences.  Sydney acting classes will make you confident in ways that not only change you as an actor – but as a person. Our drama school will want to make you kiss the Tall Poppy Syndrome goodbye and realize that there is no place for you playing small. At Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop you will have the opportunity to learn skills, gain confidence and pursue the dreams you were too scared to admit you had!

If you want to get started on your acting career in Sydney, submit a contact form so we can get you started with our program.

The first step to starting your journey with AMAW Studios is to take our Foundations Course, which is not an introduction to acting, but an introduction to how we work at the AMAW studio. Once you complete the course, you are eligible to continue with On-Going and Mastery Scene Study Acting Classes. We also offer Elective Classes in many locations that do not require the Foundations Course as a prerequisite.
