COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Meisner Technique Short Course is for aspiring actors and for established actors who are new to the Meisner Technique.
It is designed to introduce students to the method and to lay the foundations for further study.
The course is an opportunity to challenge yourself and discover your emotional truth.
Each week students will work through acting exercises encouraging them to progressively step out of their comfort zone.
Through the cornerstone exercise of the Meisner Repetition Exercise students learn how to connect with the other actor. Importantly, the course trains actors to delve into their own emotional experiences and teaches them to use their imagination to create the improvised exercises that are the hallmark of the Meisner Technique.
These skills are necessary for giving powerful, truthful and memorable performances on screen and stage.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
If you take the course, you will learn practical acting skills that you can begin to apply almost immediately to your acting and artistic practice.
In addition to the practical hands-on acting skills you will learn, the course offers students a unique opportunity to meet and work with like-minded actors. Through the Meisner Foundations short course, you will also get the opportunity to join the vibrant, ever growing, but select community of actors attending the Beck Academy of Dramatic Art.
