DR 437 Meisner Technique
Through a step by step progression of acting exercises developed by the famous acting teacher Sanford Meisner, students will develop their ability to work organically and to create truthful and expressive behavior. The exercises are designed to promote active listening, authentic reactions, concentration, imagination and an emotional connection. The class culminates in assigned scene work in which the student learns how to approach a text, make strong acting choices and bring the words of the script to life. Attendance is mandatory, and considerable time outside of class devoted to practice and rehearsal is expected.
