REPETITION TO TEXT
Three Month Intensive Program

A unique opportunity to cultivate a deep understanding of what it means to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.

Limited places available.

 
 

3 MONTHS OF INTENSIVE TRAINING

This ground-breaking program provides an exciting and unique opportunity for actors to immerse themselves in Meisner’s incredible foundational exercise.

The Repetition to Text program is designed to facilitate and accelerate artistic growth by providing an intensive space for the actor to train in a proven technique twice a week. This program offers actors the opportunity to hone their skills and deepen their experience in what is considered one of the most concrete and safest methods for learning the craft of acting. It is carefully curated to support those seeking to build a strong foundation and sharpen their skill set.

A great technique is based on a process that requires continuous contact. The Three Month intensive naturally emerges from this understanding. This program will compromise two classes per week, along with rehearsals between classes, providing consistent engagement with the work while also allowing flexibility for students to maintain other commitments.
