Words from Steven –
“The Meisner Technique was developed by Sanford Meisner at The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, where he taught for more than 50 years, and where I had the privilege of being one of his students 32 years ago.
The technique is based on truth. Meisner said, ‘Acting is the ability to live truthfully under given imaginary circumstances.’ There are many acting techniques, and the ones that are valid will help you arrive at the one ultimate truth, your truth.
The work we will do together will lead you to acting with a deep personal meaning, a wonderful simplicity and to a level of working where technique disappears and what remains, is you in your acting.
I can’t wait for you to discover this work!”
