“Acting is living truthfully under imaginairy circumstances.” –Sanford Meisner
Meisner said that actors make two mistakes: they don’t listen and they put their attention on themselves. During these 4 weeks you will be introduced to Meisner’s Repetition exercise that is designed to no longer make those mistakes. You will have to put your attention on your partner, listen to them fully, trust your instincts and completely be in the present moment. You will learn to fully surrender to all parts of yourself so that you can go deeper into what it means to be free and truthful on stage and in life.
