Extra information
An Open Mind and Willingness to Take Risks
The Meisner technique requires actors to be fully present and responsive in the moment. Students should come prepared to let go of preconceived notions and be open to taking emotional risks during exercises and scene work. An open and vulnerable mindset is essential.
A Commitment to Truthful Acting
At the core of the Meisner approach is the pursuit of authentic and truthful acting. Students should be committed to tapping into their real emotions, impulses, and behaviors rather than relying on artificial line readings or representations.
Preparedness and Focus
While spontaneity is key in Meisner, students should still come to class prepared by memorizing any assigned scripts or materials thoroughly. This allows them to remain fully focused and present during scene work rather than getting bogged down by forgotten lines.
Comfortable Clothing
The class will likely involve physical exercises and scene work that requires freedom of movement. Students should dress in comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows them to move and engage freely.
A Willingness to Collaborate
Much of the work in a Meisner class involves partnered scene study and exercises. Students must be prepared to work collaboratively, actively listen to their partners, and contribute to a supportive creative environment.
Note-Taking Materials
Students will likely receive insightful feedback and direction from the instructor. Having a notebook and pen handy allows them to jot down notes and refer back to the advice later.
An Openness to Feedback
A key part of the learning process involves receiving constructive criticism. Students should embrace feedback from the instructor and their peers as an opportunity for growth rather than taking it personally.
Patience and Perseverance
Mastering the Meisner technique takes time, dedication, and hard work. Students should come with patience, commit to consistent practice, and be prepared to meet challenges head-on with perseverance.
