Student Experience

“Justin’s Authentic Meisner Workshop was hands down the most fruitful and productive acting class I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of since graduation from full-time training. Justin’s emotional intelligence, commitment to the craft and strong work ethic creates an environment where you’re encouraged to explore the Meisner process with thorough curiosity and most importantly a vulnerability that allows you to work from an authentic and truthful place. I highly recommend working with Justin if you’re at all curious in Meisner, if you’re looking to be more present in your work or if you’re just looking to reinvigorate your process and relationship with acting.” - Tel Benjamin
