MEISNER TECHNIQUE

Act before you think – your instincts are more honest than your thoughts

Sanford Meisner

WINTER 2027 ACTING CLASSES AVAILABLE

At its core, Meisner Technique is designed to develop the actor’s ability to listen and respond honestly in order to allow them to truly live in the moment. Developed by Sanford Meisner at The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, and it has been a favorite of instructors and students across the country and is a widely used technique in the craft today. This acting class is recommended for those with some acting experience who are looking to add or sharpen this tool within their skill-set.

LEVEL 1

Tuesdays, 6pm-9pm from January 5th to February 9th, 2027

Focuses on the Meisner’s use of “the repetition”. Students go through a set of repetition exercises in order to train their ability to listen and respond naturally. Students grow their ability to capture and create meaningful moments within the repetition and begin to learn how to adapt these skills to scene work.

LEVEL 2

Thursdays, 6pm-9pm from January 7th to February 11th, 2027

*Level 1 is a prerequisite for this class

Meisner Technique Level 2 continues sharpening the actor’s moment to moment work, while now adding relationship and activity work. Students will continue to add layers to the repetition that will now filter the exercise through the lens of an “imaginary given set of circumstances”.
