Most techniques teach actors how to analyze a scene. This technique teaches actors how to "live" the part.
In
a business as unpredictable as this, the one element an actor
can rely on is their ability to act. This Intensive provides the
actor with a solid foundation for all medium: from TV to live
Theatre; utilizing imagination rather than recall to tell the
story.
Perfect for actors of all levels, many directors, writers and producers prefer to work with Meisner trained actors because they know the actor has the tools to deliver results in a brief amount of time.
We are accepting a small group of selected students to address each actor’s individual acting challenge. The first 8 weeks utilize Meisner exercises to train the actor to work off of others and live in the moment. The final 4 weeks is for scene work only; applying the Meisner technique to the written text with a specific focus on bringing the scene to life within the context of the audition process.
Sanford Meisner is one of the charter members of the Group Theatre who set out to create his own "Method" of training actors. Today, the Meisner technique is widely used & much preferred by actors who must bring the text to life quickly and fully. Notable students include: James Caan, Steve McQueen, Robert Duvall, Gregory Peck, Bob Fosse, Diane Keaton, Jon Voight, Jeff Goldblum, Grace Kelly, Tony Randall and Sydney Pollack.
Date: Fall 2011.
