Film Acting Schools Course Description
According to Sanford Meisner, "acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances."
To achieve this aim, Meisner developed a series of repetition exercises based upon Constantin Stanislavsky's method of acting. The Meisner Technique forces an actor to place their entire attention on the other actor, so that they can respond truthfully and spontaneously in the moment . Actors will learn how to become spontaneous responders and to live truthfully from moment to unanticipated moment with their partners. A strict focus will be placed on getting one of the best known exercises of the Meisner Technique called "Repetition" where one person spontaneously makes a comment based on his or her partner, and the comment would be repeated back and forth between the two actors in the same manner, until it changed on its own. The object was always to react truthfully, allowing the repetition to change naturally rather than by manipulation. The exercise also eliminates line readings, since the way the actor speaks becomes coordinated with his behavioral response. As the exercise continues over a period of time, more detailed imaginary circumstances are added to the exercise, and it gradually becomes a kind of improvised scene.
The Film Acting school actors will learn to become spontaneous responders and to live truthfully from moment to unanticipated moment with their partners. A strict focus will be placed on getting the attention off yourself and on to your partner. Course will end with partnered short scene work with these first two principles applied.
