MC² Actors Studio [Los Angeles | New York City | London], founded by master acting teacher, director and playwright Mario A. Campanaro, is a conservatory-based and ensemble-oriented acting studio dedicated to the cultivation of The Craft Of Acting for The Professional Actor. MC² Actors Studio has been welcomed into the highly respected School & College Listings World Wide Directory and The Global Arts & Entertainment Directory as an esteemed performing arts school for professionals.

MC² Actors Studio believes that when an actor commits to training at our studio, they must always hold the intention of training, studying, exercising and doing the work with the same accountability, commitment, work ethic, investment, responsibility, respect, professionalism, standard, skill, consistency and demand that the professional world expects and demands. There is no point in training, studying, exercising and doing the work unless what is being learned, exercised and cultivated is applicable for the professional actor to do professional work for when professional opportunities arise.

Our studio is all about exercising the actor’s instrument. It is about going to the gym, artistically speaking. It is not about trying to ‘prove’ oneself as an actor/artist…or about playing a ‘result’ of performance…or about having the pressure to ‘perform’ for an audience while training…or about ‘getting the job’…or about being ‘perfect’…or about being addicted to adjustments to ‘get you there’. It is for the professional actor, as a safe space to cultivate The Craft Of Acting…to be courageous…to take risks…to get messy…to get specific… to struggle when there is struggle…and to celebrate diving into all the obstacles and blocks that may be experienced in the work equally as celebrating all the breakthroughs and successes! It is not about ‘hoping’ your work goes well and it is not about being ‘lucky’ if it does. It is all about The Craft Of Acting and how it supports the actor consistently. And within that, it is also about knowing that there is not always ‘The‘ way to get there. But there always is ‘A‘ way! And that way will resonate with you and stimulate your instrument to do honest, truthful, exciting, sophisticated, and very human unpredictable moment-to-unknown moment work in relation to the circumstances at hand. That is a craft that will never fail the actor. It will always have his/her/their back. It will support him/her/them in the knowing and therefore open the door to that delicious desired freedom within the unknown of the moment. That is the craft that the actor wants to cultivate. That is the craft that the actor wants to continue to work with.
