One -Day Acting Workshop

SEPTEMBER 13 , 2026  | 12–6PM
ONE DAY. SIX HOURS.

Get out of your head. Get into the moment. Experience the work.

Class Description

Spend an intensive afternoon experiencing two essential elements of our professional actor training: Meisner Acting and Movement.

Through improvisation, Meisner-based exercises and physical exploration, you’ll work toward greater freedom, spontaneity and connection—learning to trust your instincts, respond truthfully and engage your entire instrument.

This is not a workshop where you sit back and listen.

You will observe. You will work. You will be challenged.

Whether you’re curious about Meisner, looking to reconnect with your training, or ready to explore what professional actor training can offer, this workshop is an opportunity to get on your feet, take risks and discover.

For those ready to continue, the Workshop also provides a strong foundation for Meisner 1 starting in the Fall.

Come experience the work, meet the Studio,
and discover where your training could take you next.

I’m comparing Meisner with other approaches.
