Who is Iris Klein?

Iris Klein grew up in New Jersey, one suburb away from Manhattan. At five years old she watched her cousin, Jerome Robbins’ masterful, “West Side Story,” from the fifth row. At nine years old she heard Mànitas De Plata play flamenco guitar at Carnegie Hall which opened her ears to the music of the world. At twelve, Iris witnessed Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton read Shakespeare, poetry, and verse to each other in a ‘by invitation only,’ intimate theatre space. These shows are where she fell in love with the theatre.

Klein’s Philosophy

Acting Is An Art Form Of  Self Discovery.  Through  Each Other,  We Discover  Ourselves.  When We Know What Affects Us, The Character Can Live In Us.

Every Action Creates A Reaction Which Determines The Point Of View.  Acting Is What We Do About How We Feel.  Acting Is Doing.  Acting is Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances.  Through A Process Of Exercises That Teaches The Actor To Trust Their Instincts And Impulses, To Be Present and In The Moment, The Actor Learns To Focus And To  Listen And  Respond Truthfully, Developing A Heightened Awareness .  Utilizing Ones Experience,   Imagination,  Research And Intelligence, The Truth Is Revealed.
