Learn more about Uta Hagen, her legendary technique, meet the Program Leaders, and we will see you in one of our back in–person programs!

Uta Hagen was one of the foremost acting teachers of the 20th century. A celebrated actress in her own right, and author of the seminal texts Respect for Acting and A Challenge for the Actor, she trained many of the outstanding actors of the American Stage and Screen. The Uta Hagen Institute at HB Studio offers full-time immersion in the practical approach to acting craft that characterized Uta Hagen’s legendary master classes and classic acting texts. Its four key programs are highly structured, integrated courses for actors with serious professional and artistic intent.
