THE MEISNER TECHNIQUE
Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio The great strength of Meisner Training is that it gives you a clear, step-by-step approach to the craft of acting that allows complete freedom of expression and confidence in your abilities. In EMAS' Meisner Technique program, we teach The Meisner Technique, period. It is not a blend of other techniques or "methods", or an innovative new spin. It is a pure Meisner Training program. If you want to learn The Meisner Technique the way Sandy developed it then EMAS is the place for you. THE FIRST YEAR The first year is dedicated to you learning who you are and bringing that self-knowledge to your craft. To be a great actor you absolutely must know yourself. You are introduced to the fundamentals of acting through improvisational exercises that gradually become more challenging. You develop skills such as listening and emotional availability, working moment to moment to create the sense of spontaneity that is necessary to all great acting. You will know how to work instinctively, not intellectually. The best actors work from impulse, one unanticipated moment to another. As the year progresses with the Meisner Technique Acting Class, you will be introduced to the ideas of relationship and objective. Your emotional range will continue to increase and your ability to use your imagination fully and specifically will strengthen. This technique can take your acting beyond what you ever thought possible! By the end of the first year, if you have applied yourself diligently and passionately, you will have developed a strong sense of your uniqueness, and know exactly how to use it to create emotionally truthful, imaginative and exciting performances. It is at this point that you may be invited to study the second year work.
