In this session you will explore:
The importance of true listening
Getting the attention off yourself
Responding truthfully from moment to moment
The first steps of the Meisner Repetition Exercise
No previous acting experience is required.
Why actors train in the Meisner Technique
Acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
The Meisner Technique trains the actor’s instrument so that behaviour becomes spontaneous, truthful, and connected.
Instead of trying to perform, actors learn to respond instinctively to what is actually happening.
This training has influenced generations of actors and remains one of the most respected approaches to the craft.
