Completely Ridiculous Testimonials
Take a look at what our students are saying!
"My experience in this program was mind blowing and I am so grateful for the opportunity. I would do it again and recommend to other artist as well. This program came right on time, wow like it really did. I left the program sad because I didn’t want it to end. I gained so much more than what I came in with and I am grateful. All of the classes were challenging in there own way, and the amount of creative stretching in the entire program was out of this world , and nothing I have experienced before. I love this conservatory and this is my first time experiencing a form like this.
Fun, raw, honest, messy in the best ways for artist to feel safe to fail and grow."
"Honestly, I thought improv over zoom was gonna be impossible and Ralf totally proved me wrong."
"This was honestly the first acting class I’ve taken where I didn’t get even a little bit bored when it was others’ turn to show their scene. Gabe’s advice was useful for everyone and helped me approach scenes in a new and exciting way. Most of us originally decided to become actors because it’s fun for us, but after years of school or working, we often forget to find the fun in our work. This class brought that fun back."
"A joy filled escape from the pandemic. A reminder of why I love being an artist."
"I learned so much about the human body in this class! And the funny thing is? I actually feel like it’s gonna stick. Tracy is a a magician she knows exactly the right buttons to push to free the actor of tension."
"This summer reminded me how to play again!"
"I had a wonderful time in this program. It really gave me a sense of belonging and purpose during this quarantine, and I learned more in these 5 weeks than most of this past year in college. I grew so much more than anticipated, and the teachers and students really created a "brave" space in which to work and be challenged. This program taught me more than just new skills in acting and creating; I learned so much about people and connection and the beauty of strangers in a moment that would never have happened if not for EVERYTHING that's happened."
"All of the classes were so connected to each other and the teachers were amazing and I wish it was longer than 5 weeks!"
"I know this is anonymous but don't tell anyone that I learned more about acting from Gabe right now than from any acting teacher I've had before. PERIOD!!!"
"The teachers were all fantastic and smart and so obviously cared about what they were doing AND about us students. From day one they established a sense of trust among the students that allowed for us to be brave and share deep parts of ourselves with strangers."
"Devin's positive energy was infectious! She laid out very clearly how to go about filming an audition or doing an in person one. She provided us with ALOT of awesome resources for which I am very thankful! She also offered outside of class work time which was very helpful to many. I'd work with her again in a heart beat!"
"THIS PROGRAM HAS MADE MY SUMMER AND IS A HIGHLIGHT OF MY EDUCATION. Thank you so much for this opportunity, Gabe and all faculty! I have learned so much about myself and acting and the world and made new friends and I just wish this program could have been longer. I look forward to seeing you again in the future! And maybe even......not in a zoom box!!! I just realized I didn't talk about zoom this entire time and I think that goes to show how much being on zoom did not take away from my experience of this program. All of the professors embraced the medium beautifully and we worked out everything together and it gave me hope since my semester is completely online in the fall! Thank you thank you thank you. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
"Lucy is a master at teaching what we want to learn, not what she wants us to learn. Weird but true! Patient, sweet and kind."
"This was truly the highlight of my summer - if not 2020! It was such an honor to work with you, the faculty and my fellow students. You KNOW that I will keep coming back for more! Looking forward!"
"It literally shifted my work to a much deeper and playful place. I fell in love with acting again. Thank God."
"It was so wonderful to be able to have such a glorious place to rekindle my love for acting. It was an honour to work with you and your extraordinary faculty and my classmates. I felt supported and challenged in the most perfect way. I also got to feel like an artist for the first time in a while...THANK YOU GABE."
"What an incredible experience! Thank you for bringing together such an amazing group of faculty and students. This program brought out courage, joy, curiosity, and confidence that I didn’t know I had in me. Can’t wait to keep diving in to the work!"
"I CANNOT genuinely CANNOT thank everyone apart of this enough for the opportunity to be a part of this. It has given me the courage and confidence to work and play in ways I never would have had access to. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!"
"This was the best creative ride I’ve had in decades!"
"Really truly feeling like I have a new lease on this craft of ours. Magic people doing magic things. Cannot thank you enough for this incredible experience."
This was such a beautiful experience. The artists we met in this space were some of the most moving people I’ve ever met and I’m honored to have worked with you all. Thank you to the faculty for making this ridiculous idea totally marvelous!
"So glad I could join this conservatory and study with all the brilliant teachers and my generous, inspiring classmates. Can't wait to know what's next!!
"Hands down this was the highlight of my summer and arguably of the pandemic. I'm ridiculously grateful for this space, the people, and all the MAGIC and COMMUNITY that transpired in 5 short weeks and I'm just so wildly excited for what's to come. Bravo Gabe, Devin, Lucy, Ralf, Chris, Annelise, Tracy, Joby, (in no particular order) and anyone I might have missed! Deep gratitude for allowing me to be a part of it and missing you all (and all our suds-filled antics) immensely."
