"Act before you think - your instincts are more honest than your thoughts." (Sanford Meisner)
Our weekly Meisner Technique Weekly Courses for Beginners are designed for those who have had some acting training or those who have at least attended an introduction to the approach.
It is an excellent meisner training to undertake if you are looking to add to your acting toolbox. It will encourage you to create acting performances of great power and depth. The sense of play and exhilaration within the training experience is transformative. Over the course you will grow rapidly in confidence and lose self-consciousness, the real enemy of great acting.
Our classes are taught by a specialist practitioner and designed to be liberating, thrilling and supportive whether you’re new to the technique, or a well versed performer.
It is the perfect building block to compliment training in other mediums such as Screen Acting. The skills you learn in Meisner Beginners will be useful to you not only in performance but are also very transferable into other areas of your working and personal life.
