Working Classes
We are working class. We believe in work that is deeply, unabashedly, American. By that, we mean work that is singular, individuated, and full of size. Work that is unafraid of failure, that risks everything in order to get to something true, something real. Work that is lived in, sweaty, and sensual. Work that is mature, and messy, and cutting.
We believe in artists who are willing to put themselves on the line. Artists who can and will reveal the worst and best parts of themselves in equal measure, Who are interested in questions, not answers. Who aren’t afraid of being “unfinished”.
We are creating a home for like-minded people to share ideas, to train, and to perform. Our classes are affordable, our ticket prices are cheap, and our doors open to all who want to join us. the working class once had a seat at the grand table of American theatre and cinema, and it's time to take that seat back.
ADULT FILM is building an artistic training center for actors, writers, and directors of all experience levels who are interested in a peer-led, community-based class company. Created to support the working class artist with affordable prices, and to shift the focus back onto individual creative autonomy. Core Classes include artistic director Ryan Czerwonko's Process class, David Garelik's Dramatic Improv classes, Christopher Martin's Scene Study, Matthew Zimmerman's Voice and Jay Geist's Michael Chekhov Technique. All are geared towards a practical approach to working in theatre and tv/film.
PAST TEACHERS INCLUDE: Maria Dizzia, Tina Satter, Anne Washburn, Lucy Thurber, Welker White, Igor Golyak, Michael Abbott, Jr., Jaclyn Bethany, Seth Bockley, James Calleri, Kit Zauhar, Joey Merlo, Ross Shenker, Kaley Ronayne, Karen Braga
