Traditional Meisner 6 Month Training Track
With Instructor Dustin Lewis
Starting July 11th
The definition of Acting is “living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” In order to do this we must learn to strip away the confines that society has put on us and respond truthfully in every moment. Meisner has developed improvisational exercises that bring the actor back to the beginning where they learn to know themselves and can act in a place where no barriers exist. They will come away from this training with the ability to have a truthful experience with another actor. And when the actor has an experience, the audience has an experience.
Chubbuck Intro – Level 1
With Instructor Jerri Tubbs
Starting July 11th
This technique maintains a focus on producing and nurturing working actors in a rigorous professional environment. It is our mission to empower our students with the tools to become successful and to make dynamic, empowered choices in their work.
In this class students will break down the text according to “The Power of the Actor” – 12 steps, and all of the emotional exercises in the book and then apply it to scene work. The goal is to get every student to learn how to be proactive and win an objective in the scene while creating a dynamic performance. While there is no filming element to this class, the technique is designed especially through the use of inner monologue and inner objects to be captured, truthfully for the camera.
