Meisner Acting Technique

What does the Meisner Technique Teach?

LEARN ONE OF THE ACTING TECHNIQUES THAT HELPS CREATE POWERFUL AND TRUTHFUL ACTORS.

This intensive course will teach you to get out of your head and act truthfully and instinctively from your gut. Actors will learn to be truly present in the moment and to be specific and detailed in their acting choices.

You will learn the foundation of Sanford Meisner: Exercises in repetition, independent activities, emotional preparation & scene work.

The second half of the Meisner Summer Intensive consists of scene and monologue work, during which time you will apply what you have learned in the exercises to your roles.

The training begins with an intensive improvisational work, including the ”Repetition Exercise” in which actors learn to take the attention off themselves and put it on their partners’ real behavior, allowing it to affect them and cause a truthful reaction.

Students then apply this strong beginning in their ability to “live truthfully” to modern scene work.

Wednesday 6pm-8pm or Friday 12:30-2:30pm or 2:30pm-4:30pm

$534 for 8 weeks Meisner Summer Intensive
