Russell Acting Studio

Russell Acting Studio Acting classes taught by Catherine Russell. Catherine Russell has been on the faculty of NYU since 1981 where she teaches graduate and undergraduate acting.

She is a working actress, having performed over 13,000 performances (a Guinness world record) in the Off-Broadway production of Perfect Crime. Her approach to acting is very practical. She is nurturing and yet honest and finds as much joy in her student’s progress and success as she does in performing. She takes pride in the fact that almost every student improves immeasurably in each six week session. Her teaching philosophy is that there is not one best acting method, but instead she incorporates techniques from a variety of teachers including Strasberg, Esper, Adler, and Meisner.

Travon McCall, a former Russell Acting Studio student stopped by class on Saturday. He now lives in LA but was in NYC to shoot a co-star role on a new tv series. He watched the class and gave feedback to the students but also gave very inspiring advice on how to become a working actor.

He explained that 10 years ago he was working at the Crowne Plaza Hotel around the corner from the Theater Center where Russell Acting Studio has classes and he just walked in one day and asked about taking a class. Cathy handed him a monologue (he didn't even know what a monologue was!) and told him to start acting - and the rest is history. His story is a great reminder that you have to just take one first small step to realize your dream of becoming a working actor.
