Meisner Repetition Exercise
Term Dates
Term 7 Repetition: Commencing 24th November 2024.
Term 7 Actors Core: TBC
This five-class term offers an introduction to Meisner’s renowned improvisation exercise, providing a valuable opportunity to experience Sanford Meisner’s unique approach to acting.
Sanford Meisner developed this foundational exercise to address two major challenges actors often face: self-consciousness and a lack of active listening. The Repetition Exercise is specifically designed to tackle these issues - but it does much more than that! Great acting happens when we are truly present, moving from one unanticipated moment to the next. This exercise invites you to ride that wave.
If you're seeking to experience the joy of being spontaneous, alive, and deeply connected to both your partner and yourself, then you will want to experience this technique.
Actors Core
I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor—it teaches the human heart knowledge of itself. — Laurence Olivier
Before we get to the text, we must first develop not only a foundational understanding of the technique but also a deeper understanding of ourselves artistically. After all, we have only ourselves to work from.
Because acting is an exercise in vulnerability, it’s not uncommon to meet instrumental obstacles when we get up to work. Habits like; tension, anxiety, self consciousness (to name but a few), can often get in the way of our creative expression.
Actors Core is an instrument class designed, through a diverse range of exercises, to work and stretch muscles not only integral to the craft but also, as a by product, can help expand your experience of self.
These exercises focus on openness, contact, vulnerability, relaxation, honesty and spontaneity.
All that I have to offer as an artist is the revelation of my soul. — Eleanora Duse
