Actor Dictionary | MEISNER TECHNIQUE

An acting program that uses (among other things) repetitive and in-the-moment exercises first devised by Sanford Meisner of the Group Theatre. The technique emphasizes "moment-to-moment" spontaneity through communication with other actors to generate behavior that is "truthful under imaginary circumstances." Meisner also emphasized using the actor's imagination to create emotional reality—the creative "as-if"— over the personal, emotional experience philosophy championed by fellow Group Theatre member Lee Strasberg.
