The classwork
The Meinser acting class is for people who are or aspire to be acting professionally. We work on the fundamentals of acting craft: listening, developing strong opinions, being truthful about what we see around us. The Meisner technique is a series of exercises developed to help the actor work moment-to-moment, keeping focused on what is happening, rather than what should be happening (“How should I look? Am I doing this right?”) The technique also helps actors focus outside of themselves so that they can instinctively react to what is happening around them. Eventaully, students are given scenes to work on, but the first 6-9 months is purely improvisational.
Once students are working on scenes, they are invited to perform the scenes at regular “Scene Nights” where we invite friends and family as well as directors, casting directors and agents to view their progress. This can help students get work on professional projects.
