The Meisner technique begins with step by step exercises designed to hone the actor’s ability to listen, respond, and to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances. It’s often the “magic pill” that helps unlock actors in their ability to improvise truthfully, craft deeply meaningful objectives for themselves as actors, and to develop their active listening skills. The Meisner technique is highly valued for its active—“doing” approach to learning the foundations of acting, and it’s simple but highly effective psychological approach to acting. Based on the Stanislavsky system, Meisner technique is especially renowned for its effectiveness with emotional preparation and “unblocking” actors. Learning this technique is like core strength for actors; it makes you an all around stronger, faster, and more flexible “athlete of the heart!”
Class is a three month commitment. Isaac the instructor teleconferences into our Arizona classroom.
