A week-long acting course for those new to the Meisner Technique or wanting a refresher!
Developed by Sanford Meisner, the key principle of the Meisner Technique is "everything that happens to you depends on the other person". Rather than looking inward at your own experiences, history, and ideas about how to play a character, this technique has an outward focus that helps remove the intellect in order to act with greater freedom of impulse.
This week-long course is a deep dive into the process beginning with the foundational sequence of Repetition Exercises in order to learn how to "live truthfully" before introducing Given Circumstances and culminating in applying the work to text and looking at Meisner's approach to text analysis.
