She is highly intuitive, extremely insightful and the most compassionate human being I have ever met. She patiently guides her actors toward confidence and a profound connection to their inner selves. Because of her sincere passion and integrity her students trust her implicitly. She is truly gifted.”

“Cindy’s classes are my inspiration and the reason I love acting. Through her passionate, honest teaching I learn both the craft and how to discover what I uniquely have to contribute. As a working actor I take this work with me through my auditions, on to the set and on stage. Cindy says: “Life is acting and acting is life.” Through Cindy I have truly learned that. Her classes leave me feeling elated, full and alive. For as long as I am an artist, I will study here.”

“Working with Cindy Tanas is exhilirating and humbling by turns, a burst of being, a terrifying leap of faith and a regular challenge to my very way of being. The awareness and skills she teaches are invaluable to any actor, writer, or director.”

Jim Des Roches, Director.

“Cindy facilitates the actor in their search for that grain of personal truth from which the “character” can be born. Her process teaches the actor to dig beyond the surface layers of formality and social grace to the place where lurks the true human condition. We learn to listen with not only our ears, but with our bodies and our minds. The environment is a reverant and safe one, where the artist can learn to truly risk, reveal, and trust their instinct, which is ultimately the name of the game. The work can be grueling, but the payoff is infinitely worth it."

George Santino, Actor, Writer.

“Cindy is a very enthusiastic and nurturing teacher who ensures a safe, wonderfully freeing environment that really makes you feel like you’re part of something special. She has a keen eye for what is real and affecting-there is no hiding from Cindy! Her highly effective techniques help me get out of my head and into my body so I can really feel like and therefore, be, the character. Cindy has given me a deeper appreciation for the art of acting-she is a life-changing teacher whom I highly recommend."

Carilynn Nicholson, Actor, Stand-up Comic.

“Cindy creates a supportive environment that helped me make emotional breakthroughs in my work. Her sensitive and intuitive style have helped me become a more honest actor-a more feeling actor, all the while honing my ability to express that effectively to an audience. I feel Cindy is a teacher that loves the craft of acting and approaches the work with the highest integrity.”
