THEA 001D PO - Basic Acting: The Meisner Technique & Improvisatal Realism

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.
