    Steve is very warm and kind and is an actor himself, so I felt at ease right away because he gets the process.

    I've taken a lot of different acting classes around LA (even Zoom ones based out in NY) and this…read moreone taught by Eric Kline is unique. I started here in summer 2023 and went here consistently for about a year. I'm not sure if it's still the same format but when I was there you would pay for class per 2 weeks session -- so one week you and your scene partner would do a zoom cold read with each other and Eric. You should have worked up the scene prior to the cold read as well and discuss it with Eric at the cold read. Then the following week you would meet up (I was in the Tuesday evening class) at the studio to perform the scene. Depending on who your scene partner is, you could schedule to meet to practice your scene more if you wanted. But most people I believe just chose to meet up half-hour to hour prior to in-person class to practice. What I really liked about this class is that you get experience being filmed at every in-person class. He has two 4K cameras, a green screen where he can project a background, and a boom mic. So you're not just performing your scene on a stage while your peers watch. You will get to perform while also learning the technical aspects of how to perform on camera. THIS is why I went to Eric's class! I got an experience that is close to being on a set. Also you can get experience working the camera or holding the boom mic while your peers do their scene. At the end of class, you will watch everyone's scene and Eric will give his critiques. You can also request to get a copy of your scene, which was $10 when I was there. Since I started acting in 2023, this really helped me to build a reel so I had something to self-submit for auditions and later on when I submitted to agents. Eric teaches Tony Barr's technique (hence the name of the studio -- Eric and Tony were good friends). I don't know how to describe Tony Barr's teachings but it just made sense to me -- it's practical and realistic. I felt I could organically just let go and be present in the scene. I believe I did 1 or 2 private sessions with Eric before I felt comfortable to come to the in-person classes. But you don't have to do that, that's just what I did as I was new to acting and had to get over the nerves of being on camera. Every actor I met in class was nice and very supportive. Eric created a safe space for everyone to learn and can make bold choices. I highly recommend this place!

    I didn't believe anyone could teach acting until I met Eric Kline. Eric runs Tony Barr's film…read moreactors workshop. He knows more about film acting than anyone I've ever met, and I have met many actors, directors, teachers. This is without a doubt the best acting class in Los Angeles. The only reason more people don't know about this class is because Eric relies on word of mouth to get new students. He's the most brilliant acting teacher in the state, but doesn't spend much of his energy advertising. Works for me because there's always a spot for me, and there's no other class I want to be in. Also, this is one of the only classes that shoots the scenes we work. Being in this class not only sharpens talent but it also gives students new footage every two weeks. Can't say enough good things about this place.

    Not just your average theater program. Choosing this program for both of my daughters, who are…read moreextremely different from each other, has been one of the best parenting decisions I have ever made. I average a few comments a week about how amazing my 15 year old daughter is and I attribute so much of that to the community, culture, and programming that is built within this theater space. Yes, she has leaned to sing, dance, and act- and well, I might add. For me, more importantly, she has learned grace, pride, to be supportive, understanding, how to work as a team, maturity, respect, acceptance, passion, drive, commitment, belonging, love, determination, grit, resourcefulness, disappointment, and countless skills that will see her through to adulthood. When you ask my daughter why she is willing to devote her Monday nights, after a long day at school and other commitments, to this place, she says, without reservation or hesitation, "Because there's nothing else like it. " My younger daughter, now 8, unlike my older daughter, is shy and reserved- but also loves to sing and dance. This is the only place that I would trust to handle her anxiety, social emotional development, and the delicate nature of doing hard things (facing fears). I've watched Cheryl and her team support so many kinds of needs, including working with a student who was visually impaired. Now there is also Mariana, who is extremely adept at hearing/ seeing students at their core and crafting something that meets them where they are at. When you go an see the shows, you can tell this is a great place. When you stay a bit longer, you see more, and know that what happens there is immeasurable.

Not knowing anyone that first day of class was a bit of a challenge but she made it through with the help of Cheryl, Hillary and all her talented supportive staff. By the end of the first class she was ready to go even without many friends. As the weeks went on my daughter made tons of friends and had the best experience ever. Here we are 4 years later and she can't wait for her weekly class. Cheryl has even gone so far as to work with my daughter closely to bring out all sides of her personality and to challenge her to be uncomfortable with characters my daughter would not normally play. What a delight it has been to watch as my daughter grows and stretches her acting chops!

Made my entire trip worthwhile. While drop-in classes are super expensive ($45 each) I can't imagine how much building rent in LA would be for businesses, so checks out. This was a few months ago from writing this review, but I took classes with Christine, Peppa, and Ran. Some of those instructors don't teach at Jagged anymore, but the quality was consistent across the board. First of all, I would not recommend taking 3 classes in a row. I was excited to be there, and it was my only opportunity to visit during my trip. I love how Jagged utilizes their small space to simultaneously teach pole and aerial or stretch classes. Instructors truly cater to the level of their students. They're SO strong and talented! I found each class to be sufficiently challenging, and the community is wonderful too. I walked out, filled with so much happiness and adrenaline! Make sure to bring plenty of water and arrive early because street parking in Santa Monica is awful. I look forward to coming back to Jagged and trying more classes. There's so many different types and levels--something for everyone. They even have a first-timer special so you can try your first class for less than the full drop-in price.

I see young hopeful children come in and working directly with good directors, but their level of training is too much to begin students with, and I think that students are told they are "Amazing", when really they are not. All for the sake of a continuing payment made monthly to keep them coming in. I have seen other studios really be honest , and teach the basics and work students into more advanced classes as needed. The studio is run by people who have not even been in the film business , EVER before.... Many of the parents are only there to network with one another, but also I see the only students that are getting ahead are the ones who keep close to the owners on a personal level.. I observed many talented kids not getting noticed , and this bothers me. The students that were getting noticed are the ones favored by the inner circle...

I LOVE my class and EVERYONE in it. The classes are intense and s definite acting work out that is only meant for those serious about thier career. They even screen classic and new movies for FREE on Sundays nights with a great sound system, large screen and FREE refresments. There have even been guest appreances of cast and crew before to these screenings! I love everything about this studio and they are very professional, welcoming, and optimistic here. I could go on for ten years about how great this studio is!

But I felt so intimated by my new machine. I ticked it away for years but I saw an email for a Moving Thread beginner 4-week workshop. 3 hours each session. Last night was class 1 of 4. My class was six ladies aged from mid 20s to late 60s. One never sewed. Two hand sewed. And two of us used machines 20 and 30 years ago and one lady had a machine and used it but felt intimidated. So we were all pretty nervous about our fledgling sewing skills. But the class was paced perfectly and by the end of our first class we successfully completed beautiful reversible totes! The workshop is $550 and it's a great value: project 1 tote, project 2 zipper pouch, project 3 pants (two classes). Our instructor was warm, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, helpful. My only drawback are the chairs. They're not comfortable for me and my leg felt like it wanted to go numb. No one else seemed uncomfortable so maybe it's just me. I'll try a seat cushion to see if it'll help. I brought my machine with me so I could learn how to use it but my husband actually bought the same Heavy Duty Singer sewing machine provided in the class for student use. All the equipment, accessories, fabric needed is provided by the class. You only need to show up. No good or drink allowed in classroom but water is okay. Be sure to enter the rear entrance let the instructions in your student information email. Because to show up on time. Basically no make classes. So if you sign up be sure you're schedule is free for the specified time period. If you're thinking of taking a quick afternoon class or a full workshop I highly recommend you give Moving Thread a try. The instructor we had last night has her own fashion label and is highly knowledgeable but gave us very easy instructions that us newbies could follow. The was patient with our foibles and created an atmosphere of grace and fun. I look forward to my to rest of classes Eventually I look forward to trying the advanced class offerings too. I've hit my eye on the alterations class.
