What do people have to say about the Terry Knickerbocker Studio?
The Terry Knickerbocker studio is honored to receive feedback from students and alumni.
Upon walking in and seeing TK Studio for the first time, I realized how serious Terry Knickerbocker is about building an environment conducive to learning. Every inch of the space leads one closer to the reason we are all there; the work.
TK Studios is a bit off the grid in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, which for me allows more focus on the work and the craft than being in a studio in the busy city full of other acting studios that feel like desperation and competition.
Kana is a great teacher because she really challenges us to move outside of our comfort zones. She also takes the time to really listen to each individual and always has feedback tailored to each person.
Matthew is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had in my life – in any curriculum. He’s just a wonderful guy. He’s a walking, living genius.
Nate demands excellence, which is a very good thing, but it can be very scary because we are being asked to step out of our comfort zones and explore that discomfort within the context of movement.
Julia is an incredible artist and teacher. Her depth of knowledge is inspiring. Her openness and generosity with this knowledge is profound — She cultivates a safe, judgment-free space where students are able to learn and fail and grow through experience and with total support.
Being in Clown class was a transformative experience. Justin created a space in which we felt free to express ourselves with love for ourselves and each other, without judgement or fear of failure or messing up.
Matthew is just so brilliant. He’s a brilliant teacher and a brilliant soul. It was awesome to work with him.
Because Terry is taking actors to new heights each and every class, I find myself learning more and more than I ever thought I could from my classmates. Watching my mates rise up creates an inspiration.
I undoubtedly learned how to be a better mover with Nate, but what was so valuable about working with him was being able to witness a leader and an artist at work. Nate is a master of his craft, yet humble and willing to admit when something is not working.
TK Studio is an extraordinary place to train and grow as an actor. Terry’s personal and thorough approach to acting (based in Meisner) and the conservatory process is – in my opinion – the best you will find anywhere.
Working with Bethany is a dream come true for any actor, honestly. The way she invites you to play – the tools that she will introduce you to are tools that you will use for the rest of your life, tools that work 100% of the time.
