JOHN STRASBERG STUDIOS Montreal 
514-272-9430
GILLES PLOUFFE is an experienced professional working actor in theatre, film & television. He has studied many years with Mr. Strasberg and has also taught acting at ACTRA, the National Screen Institute, the Algonquin College Theatre Program, Dynamic Theatre Factory and Theatre North America.
THIS CLASS IS BASED ON JOHN STRASBERG'S ORGANIC CREATIVE PROCESS My Organic Creative Process evolves from where the Method, other systems, and the great teachers like Stanislavski, my father and Stella Adler, left off. I define, and train Talent, Imagination, Intuition and Spontaneous Inspiration, the Natural Laws of Creativity that remained a mystical, invisible world to teachers before me. My basic training develops the actor's knowledge of him/her self. Beginning with, and developing from, your natural capacity to become deeply involved, an actor dreams awake, creating a new life, from real and imaginary life. You make the invisible world visible; expressing your, intuitive and conscious, vision of life in your art. Because, an artist has something to say about life.
