Meisner Actor Training
Acting is a creative art; and like a talented athlete an actor must not rely upon that talent alone; mastery of a technical craft is vital in order to achieve the level of "excellence". An actor must commit fully to the work and the goal of being alive truthfully in imaginary circumstances. This is the heart beat of Sanford Meisner’s work and the technical foundation by which we train our actors.
"I started this studio because the world of Meisner based actor training has become a watered down, eclectic new-aged hybrid of numerous styles. I wanted smaller class sizes so that students have a real opportunity to train in the Meisner technique by a (master teacher) - as it was intended - the full canon of work - Uncut! Period!"
Sanford Meisner said that his approach to training “is based on bringing the actor back to his emotional impulses and to acting that is firmly rooted in the instinctive. It is based on the fact that all good acting comes from the heart, as it were, and that there’s no mentality to it.”
