MONDAYS MEISNER AND FILMFOR TEENS & ADULTSSanford Meisner famously developed the technique that bears his name. His approach involves structured improvisational exercises that build on each other to bring the actor to a more instinctive performance level. Classes focus on exercises in simple repetition, active listening and interaction, as well as independent activities and character analysis. Advanced exercises combine these elements to shape layered performances. All classes are taught based on student skills.
