Course Description

Develop your ability to perform on camera whilst learning the fundamental steps of the Meisner Technique.

If you’ve ever been on set, in an audition, or filming a self-tape alone in your room, you may notice your attention getting pulled toward the camera rather than staying in the scene. In the age of self-tapes, actors can spend hours modifying their performance until it reaches the 'idea' they had in their head, but something still doesn’t feel right: now the scene feels tense, tired, and full of effort. This 2-Week Intensive will help you perform with your intuition and not your ‘idea’, aiming to dispel the fear of ‘overacting’, and give you the confidence to be present and convincing on camera.

Week One we work on our 1st scene, practice being present, shifting through beats, and auditioning.

Week Two we study relationships/objectives, work with 'Direction', and film our 2nd scene.
