The Meisner technique (one of the most widespread and renowned acting techniques of the past century) was designed to create work that is raw, spontaneous, truthful, and alive. This teaser workshop will give participants a taste of the technique’s foundational principles in order to hone students’ listening skills, which are essential to every great performance. With practice of this technique, students will develop more self-awareness about their inner experiences, respond organically and intuitively off an acting partner’s emotional life, and break through habitual patterns to spark more freedom in their work.
This class is equally suited for seasoned actors looking to deepen truthfulness and spontaneity in their performances as well as any human interested in cultivating their voice and taking risks in a safe space. Participants will be encouraged to show up as the most authentic versions of themselves, with a willingness to look at the social habits that may be getting in the way of honest human connection.
