About Meisner Technique
Based on the approach of American theatre practitioner Sanford Meisner.
The goal of the Meisner approach is for the actor to not focus on themselves and instead concentrate on the other actors in the immediate environment.
Meisner training is an interdependent series of training exercises that build on one another. Participants work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop an ability to first improvise, then to access their emotions, and finally to bring the spontaneity of improvisation and the richness of personality to life.
We teach Meisner in a progression-based system. Participants must complete the earlier levels before continuing to the more advanced sessions to ensure that the technique is learned, retained, and applied correctly.
Overview of Progression Structure:
Level 1 - Foundation of Meisner & Basic Repetition
Level 2 - Physical Action Repetition
Level 3 - Psychological Repetition
Level 4 - Meisner Technique Improvisations
Level 5 - Applying Meisner Technique with Text
*The leap in difficulty from Levels 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and 4 to 5 is high. It is highly recommended to attend at least 2 Level 2 classes before attending Level 3 (and so on). We will give feedback at the end of sessions if you are ready to undertake more advanced sessions.*
The Meisner Technique isn't just about acting; it's about embracing the truth of each moment, connecting deeply with yourself and others, and honing your craft to its fullest potential.
Rebecca
I felt it was really, really helpful for me as an actor. So I'm always striving for more authenticity and to really be in the moment and listen actively to my scene partner.
So Meisner really helped with that because we focus a lot on repetition, like what we observe about one another and actions and psychological opinions... And that really helps me to trust my instincts and trust my body and not be in my head too much.
Another thing that was really helpful was the the idea that you don't have to add colour or try to be more interesting in our performances, our interactions with others. What we already have is in us and we are interesting as we are.
Meisner really helped me to tap on that and to just be more authentic and in the moment in my interactions as well.
So I highly recommend the class. I feel it's very useful even for non-actors who want to learn more about themselves and to gain more insight into themselves and their emotions and to really express their creativity and authenticity as well.
