THEA 307 - Int Acting II:Meisner Technque

Credits: 4

Students will engage in the creation, presentation and analysis of a series of prepared structured improvisations. This sequence of exercises, and their applications, are rooted in the core objectives, principles and teachings of Sanford Meisner, all of which form the basis of The Meisner Technique. The class focuses on the truth of the actor’s behavior, paring away what is unnecessary, helping the actor achieve an un-self-conscious revelation of their inner life, responding moment-to-moment off of their partner and strengthening their imagination. Exercises are prepared outside of class. The course includes reading and writing assignments. Prerequisite: THEA 308. Repeatable. Offerings Vary by Semester.
