Acting Class:
Authentic Connection - 
Meisner Focus


This fun, supportive, mixed-level acting class has been ongoing and growing for 12 years.  Each class series, participants are guided through a variety of warm-ups, ensemble acting games, discussions, and specific exercises for actors developed by Sanford Meisner.  The Meisner technique first builds connection through attentive observations, repetition, listening, and allowing for moment-to-moment authentic responses.  Perhaps you are thinking about class because you want to….

​
Thanks to a generous sponsor we are now offering BIPOC artists a special discounted rate of 60% off on our SCENE STUDY WORKSHOP! Space is very limited. Please send an email of inquiry to info@twilighttheatercompany.org

Working collaboratively with scene partners in front of the instructor and a group of peers, Scene Study is a great way for actors to continually hone their craft without the timeline and pressure of a performance. The goal is to keep active & receive specific, constructive feedback to help each actor expand their tool box and gain deeper insights into their journey and process as an actor. This Scene Study class is intended for actors who have already had some training and/or stage experience and is not intended for beginning actors.
