BOOKING

“Every actor should subscribe to your Meisner workshops” ~ Casting Director, Nicci Topping, Nicci Topping Casting (Topps Casting)

The technique works progressively through a set of specific exercises which are designed to hone an actor’s ability to listen, respond truthfully, be emotionally available and be receptive to given circumstances and direction. It enables an actor to be less self-conscious and extend their acting range.

Many of the industry’s most gifted actors and writers have trained in and value the technique including: Jeff Bridges, Anthony Hopkins, Kathy Bates, David Mamet and the late Arthur Miller and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Our Introduction to Meisner weekend establishes the first few exercises of the technique, gives a basic overview of our training and how it can benefit an actor’s craft on stage and screen.

The Core Meisner Technique course covers the full set of exercises, taking actors all the way through to text work.

Once these two courses have been completed you are able to participate in our other courses:
Meisner in Practice: which focuses on the practical application of the training to the work of the jobbing actor.
Meisner in Character: which explores common character traits, or in other words, changes an actor may have to make to their straight behaviour in order to meet the demands of a text.

NB Professional actors (and those actively pursuing a career in acting) only.
