About Meisner Tecnique
The Meisner Technique is a powerful and respected approach to acting. It is a series of exercises designed to draw your attention on your acting partner. Meisner’s intention was to shift your focus from yourself and simultaneously put you in the present moment. Later, another set of exercises help you understand what it means to live in the given circumstances provided by the text and your director. Finally, a further set of exercises (cold reading, text analysis, etc) will help you make organic discoveries about the texts you perform and comprehend the given circumstances.
This intensive week will take you from the basics of simple repetition all the way through to text analysis & script work.
Learn to live in the moment as an actor. Learn what it means to really “do” and to respond truthfully to a given moment based on what you get from your partner. Through improvisation, emotional truth and personal response you will learn to resonate authenticity within a given circumstance. Only in this way will you begin to understand the definition of real acting, which is “to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances”.
