Today, your Bad at Sportscenterers take refuge in Diane Christiansen's room at the Chicago Cultural Center's exhibition An Instrument in the Shape of a Woman. Her enrapturing paintings and animations play tricks in the cosmic sands as we feel and laugh our way through the existential biggies, buoyed by bodies, icons and acorns. Curator Annie Morse helps lead our sense of the exhibition and takes us through the long, pandemic-wrought fraughtness that permeates the space. Part one of a three part series! https://rulegallery.com/artist/diane-christiansen/  https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/instrument.html    image: Diane Christiansen, Last Days of Capitalism, 2020, Gouache, acrylic, ink and plaster on paper, 55 x 50 in.

Bad at Sports Episode 813: Diane Christiansen

My guest on this episode of the Hometown to Hollywood podcast is Diane Christiansen. Diane is an award-winning acting teacher, and founder of Diane Christiansen Coaching in Los Angeles, as well as the new Christiansen Acting Academy in nearby Agora Hills. Her schools offer weekly classes to actors from age three to adult, broken down by age and focus—and including scene study, audition, technique, Improv, and character development, as well as offering commercial classes, casting director workshops, demo reels, and private coaching. Diane Christiansen’s students over nearly 30 years teaching have included Hailee Steinfeld, Miranda May, David Henrie, Spencer Daniels, Danielle Panabaker, Jason Dolley, Amy Bruckner, and more. This is actually Diane’s second time on the podcast! She was on 3 years ago, on episode 36. We discuss her new school, some of the latest developments in auditions, Method acting, the importance of branding and reinvention to actors, and much more.   Some of my favorite quotes from our conversation:   “Branding is probably the hardest thing for an actor to do themselves.” “Anybody can make a self-tape look good.” “Reinvent, reinvent, reinvent.” “You’re going to find that a lot of The Method techniques cross over into all the other sensibilities taught out there, because the 5 American Masters all came from Stanislavski.” “The thing that I think The Method helps people learn the most about is themselves.” “We have a lot of Meisner with television actors, and we have a lot of Method with feature film actors.” “The most successful people I’ve trained are training with two or three people.” “When you get into the Network testing for series regulars, it gets very gritty.” “I think knowing what NOT to do is just as important.” “Start training as consistently as possible.” “Build a team, and find a way.” “Whenever you don’t feel like you’re going forward, keep training.” “Reinvent yourself. Rebrand yourself. Recreate what you’re doing.”    Find Diane Christiansen HERE:   Website: http://www.TheChristiansenActingAcademy.com Instagram: @TheChristiansenActingAcademy Twitter: @ActUpDi      Facebook: @DianeChristiansenCoaching  Master Talent Teachers online acting classes: http://www.mastertalentteachers.com/

EP 111: Diane Christiansen, Master Acting Teacher

I interviewed Diane Christiansen in August of 2014. She has lived in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood for approximately 29 years. Diane has an incredibly powerful story of the community that has been formed on her block, which she describes as small town-like. The painting I made depicts the entry to her studio from the backyard. Our interview took place in her studio because she said it is the place where she spends the most time and feels most at home. She describes the backyard and studio as located on nearly sacred ground, from which springs forth giant rhubarb plants and great love. Thanks for stopping by!Special thanks to Stefano Vita for use of his music in the audio recording.
