Faculty
 Anthony Vincent Bova
is the
exclusive New
York instructor and east coast authority in the
Eric Morris System.
Anthony runs the Bova Actors Workshop in New York
City, and is an accomplished actor, acting instructor, and writer who
has been a protégé of Eric Morris since 1986.
Anthony is proud
that his students are frequently cast in principle roles on Broadway,
Featured Films, Television and Industrials. He is quoted in a
TheaterMania.com
article with Eric Morris (which explains the Morris System further) and
produced the New York Workshop Performance of
Love Always
written and performed by
Courtney Birch and Norman Crawford, and directed by Eric Morris.
For four years,
Anthony was on staff at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute
and New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. At
Strasberg and NYU, he spent much of his time focusing on the
elimination of acting blocks through the freeing of the actor's
body. At Strasberg he also directed productions in the Young
Peoples Program. Anthony also taught at H.B. Studio and
the New York Film Academy where he taught directors how to
direct actors. He is a member of the Screen Actors Guild,
Actors Equity Association, the Guild of Italian American Actors,
the National Speakers Association, and Toastmasters International.
Currently,
Anthony is on the Advisory Board at
IAAM Productions.
He is also the founder and president
of a New York-based executive coaching company,
Business Performance Advantage Inc. (bpa).
that trains executives to communicate more effectively, based on
the methodology of the Morris System.
Anthony
frequently teaches Workshops in the Eric Morris System throughout
the country. When he was on tour for a year and a half with
the National Broadway tour of “CATS”, he taught a master class in
just about every city he visited. Creating truth as an artist and
helping other artists find the creative truth in themselves has
been most rewarding to him. Anthony played the role of
Older Robert Brewster in “The
Emperor's Club” staring Kevin
Kline.
Resident Guest Instructor
Eric Morris
Based
in Hollywood,
Eric Morris
along with his wife
Susana Morris periodically travels to New York to
teach New York Weekend Workshops produced by Anthony Vincent
Bova and the Bova Actors Workshop. Most recently
Eric lead a filled to capacity Lecture-Demonstration at the
New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln
Center, titled:
From
Stanislavsky to Eric Morris, demonstrated through scenes from
Never-Produced Clifford Odets.
Eric Morris is one
of the most controversial and exciting acting coaches in the
history of American theater. With his unique approach to
acting from a BEING place, he is revolutionizing the concept
of performance.
Morris began
his involvement in theater at Northwestern University, where
he graduated with a degree in Dramatic Arts. His acting career
of over one hundred Equity plays, twenty major motion
pictures, fifty network television episodes, and running roles
on two syndicated TV series led him on a search for new and
workable acting techniques.
His inherent
passion for truth has resulted in the development of a process
of work that is very specific in exploring the origins of
individual talent and that encourages each actor's unique
statement.
Eric's techniques are rooted in the
Method, yet they distinctly represent his own approach,
placing him among the most recognized acting coaches in the
country. His books, No Acting Please, Being & Doing,
Irreverent Acting, Acting From the Ultimate Consciousness and
Acting, Imaging & The Unconscious are used in colleges,
universities, and private schools all over the world. Coming
Soon: The Diary of A Professional Experiencer (An
Autobiographical Journey into the Evolution of an Acting
System).
As an actor he has
been in over 100 Equity plays, 25 motion pictures, 100
television shows and two national syndicated series.
Eric Morris lives
and teaches in Los Angeles but also travels regularly to New
York and other cities around the country to conduct workshops.
He has founded the American New Theater, a company of
bi-coastal actors who have a common approach to acting and a
common goal of carrying that approach into theater and film.
