Press Photo director Alexander Forsen and a student actor

Rome January 1961 Stage director Alexander Forsen of New York, has opened in Rome a Dramatic School similar to "Actor's Studio" already full swing in New York City. One of the most important feature of the Forson course is to teach his pupils a keener sensibility.Believing in the theory that a better sensibilityof the senses creates a deeper artistic feeling in the seters, Forsen has his own method in bringing these qualities out. He asks his pupils to close their eyes and orders them to touch an object (handkerchief, pencil, other items). He may asks them to sniff a perfume, he may tell them that in the certain moment they are being knifed. In each case he asks his pupils to demonstrate their feelings and from their reactions he can determine possibilities and capabilities of each student.
