The Meisner DVD
February 13th, 2007 at 04:38am brian
I had no idea that posting links to youtube.com videos would put me in the presence of greatness, but I have been contacted by José Angel Santana, one of the people who was a part of the class that was taped, letting me know that the DVD was on sale at www.meisnerdvd.com or www.amazon.com.
José sent me a link to Mirror Up to Nature, where he will be doing a podcast interview which I hope to give you a link to as soon as it comes out. José has also very graciously linked to my thoughts on “Why should we work“. I offered him a chance to sit in on our Meisner classes when and if he comes to Prague. We look forward to it!

Brian,
I found the link to here from your post at: http://mirroruptonature.com - Mirror Up to Nature.
I wish I was better at this blog thing so that I could do all this more elegantly.
But alas, below is a link to something about your article that reflects some of the same wonder that you express in your above post. It’s a pleasure to share these things with others. And like you, I am a bit awestruck at the power of this medium of communication, I mean humans.
Here is the link: http://www.youand.net/youandblogspace/neighborhoodplayhouse/2007/02/bread-and-wine.html
All the best!
José

Jose,
Cool! thanks for that. I commented on your post as well. I’m very much liking this conversation!

Brian,
Sorry for posting both places. But for those interested in the DVD this is a link to an interview about my participation in it. Here it is:

[...] As Jose wrote in a few comments (as well as the Meisner DVD post), there is a great discussion of Sanford Meisner’s work, how he taught, the making of the DVD and how to apply the work to your everyday life at the Inexplicable DumbShow. I highly recommend anyone who is serious about this to listen to the podcast. I bought a copy of the DVD and will be showing it in Prague for the class. It would also be great for people to keep up with other people’s takes on acting and working on acting, so I encourage you to keep up with the Inexplicable DumbShow and Mirror up to Nature and add comments on other places to find good discussions.

Wow! José, I don’t know you and we have never but Emily is my sister…and thus Dack is my “brother.” It is quite surprising to find you in Prague, sort of. (I am from LA, but living here for the year.)

Hi Erica,
Yes, I’ve heard Emily speak about you often, I remember meeting you once as well. Is that right? I remember when you were beginning your study with Bill Alderson.
Well, no, I’m not in Prague, I just have happened to meet Brain and the Prague Playhouse folks here on the internet. Funny how it might seem that I’m in Prague, I’m in New Jersey.
I don’t know if you know that folks at the Prague Playhouse, but they seem like very cool people. And you have some things in common as Brain studied at Playhouse West, with Bob Carnegie who is also a onetime student of Bill Alderson.
I’ve been in touch with Dack and Emily quite a bit recently. We had dinner together here in New York, just a few months ago.
What are you doing in Prague? Should I move there?
