3 levels: Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced
Beginners:
Our beginner classes focus on building a solid foundation. Not only technically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. The unique foundation exercises in the Meisner technique carefully build the world around you without taking away what’s unique about you.
Intermediate:
Now the solid foundation has been built, we focus on building a deeper connection with the imaginary world. We explore texts using your own fantasies and desires to bring an inner life to the text that is truly your own.
Advanced:
We focus on the story and the characters that live within it. It’s our job as actors to honour the writing. Sanford Meisner referred to this as building the banks of the river. The inner life of the character that actors learn to shape in the intermediate level of the course is the 'water' within these banks. In the advanced course, we learn how to build the 'banks of the river' and navigate the waters within it.
