History
History
The American Repertory Company was founded by Manu Tupou who was the artistic director. It was a private company which offered classes limited to no more than 12 or 15 students at the very maximum at a time as well as private training. This allowed Tupou to give focus on his students in detail and find their working problem and remedy it. Although Tupou brought with him the teachings of his teachers, he sought to revamp these techniques while retaining their strength and intensity in order to protect the actors' sanity. The new technique was called the New Era Acting Technique (NEAT).
