THEA 001D PO - Basic Acting: The Meisner Technique: Improvisation and Methodology


CrsNo THEA001D PO


When Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered fall 2012.

Instructor(s): Staff

This introductory course explores the fundamentals of acting using Sanford Meisner’s variations on the “realistic” acting methodology of Konstantin Stanislavski. The course examines the Meisner technique as “long-form” improvisation, which sharpens the actor’s ability to observe, listen and react. Meisner’s approach trains the actor to focus on the scene partner and to then adapt this improvisational style to traditional scene study.
