Meisner Technique I
Technique I
During this one day introduction course, participants will gain practical experience and insight into key aspects of Sanford Meisner’s Technique. Our Meisner Technique 1 workshop will focus on the practical application and understanding of key approaches and techniques to secure performance and stage truth.
The Meisner Technique is a distinct approach towards personal preparation and performance creation. It’s about how we connect with fellow actors to create organic, believable and engaging choices. It's about using who you are and acknowledging that the voice has meaning.
Some understanding of the core principles of Stanislavski’s system or method may be useful but is not essential.

Technique II
8 x Monday evenings. 7.00 pm - 9.00 pm.
This course builds on the skills and understanding explored in our 1 day venue-based and popular 4 week online Meisner short courses. We go beyond 'repetition' and explore truthful and connective performance that arises from instinct and an ability to be 'present' in the moment. This course is suitable for the professionally focused actor open to take a journey of exploration that will change the way they act.
