Meisner Technique

Tuesday @ 630-7:30pm

Tuesday @ 7:45- 8:45pm

Meisner Training is an interdependent series of exercises that build upon one another. The more complex work supports a command of dramatic text. Meisner students work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop an ability to improvise, to access an emotional life, and finally to bring the spontaneity of improvisation and the richness of personal response to text. The technique develops the behavioral strand of Stanislavski's 'system', via its articulation in an American idiom as Method acting. The technique asserts that by emphasizing "moment-to-moment" spontaneity through communion with other actors, behavior that is truthful under imaginary circumstances may be generated.
