Respected stars who have employed these techniques include legends such as Meryl Streep, Chadwick Boseman, Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Michelle Williams, Jessica Chastain, Daniel Day Lewis, and many others too numerous to mention!
Looking to delve deeper into your work? Then, this class is for YOU!
Through scene-work and exercises students will learn the core principles of this distinguished master of acting.
Meisner
The goal of the Meisner Technique is for the actor to not focus on themselves and instead concentrate on the other actors in the immediate environment. There is a greater focus on the other actor as opposed to one's internal thoughts or feelings associated with the character.
Final Showcase for Loved Ones & Talent Reps
Class concludes in a short presentation of scenes from either TV, Film or Stage for loved ones and a few scouting Talent Reps.
