SUMMER CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

MEISNER INTENSIVE
The work of legendary teacher Sanford Meisner has made an indelible impact on the craft of acting that is felt in every corner of today’s acting industry. For nearly twenty years this challenging intensive has been a staple of our school’s curriculum and has proven essential in our students’ training.  A true exercise in creative discovery, this technique provides a roadmap for students who truly want to explore the craft and find the vast and unlimited possibilities of their own creativity. Through unscripted exercises, students will learn how to craft and relate to situations they will encounter in scripts, communicate with their partners truthfully, and get in touch with their emotional life. This technique has proven, time and time again, to be a vital ingredient in the success of, not only our students past and present, but also many of the greatest actors the world has ever known.
