Meisner Foundations & Workshops starting March & June 2008!


Meisner Foundations

"Live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances."

"...the training I offer is about a technique, a structure, a craft. It starts with a foundation, which is progressive in terms of each class, one class linking into the next. From the repetition exercise to independent activity, improvisations, emotional preparation, practice scenes, the use of 'as if', doing and making choices, interpretation, poetry, monologues and finally the doing of scenes." - JoAnna Beckson

"My students work every class." - JoAnna Beckson
  • Acceptance into the class is by personal interview only
  • Regular attendance is required, and work outside of class is recommended
  • Each class meets twice a week for three hours
  • Late afternoon and evening classes are available
