    Actors Bridge offers year-round training in the style of acting developed by Sanford Meisner. For returning students, we have two classes starting soon.

    This summer, we are offering a Level One Intensive with Bill Feehely on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:00pm-8:00pm.

    LEVEL ONE:
    Introduces the concepts of the approach and develops the actors' instinct, encouraging actors to work with greater spontaneity and honesty.

    ABOUT THE MEISNER TECHNIQUE:
    Created by Sanford Meisner of New York’s influential Group Theatre, the Meisner Technique creates truthful, emotionally-connected actors. Meisner trained a long list of great actors including Steve McQueen, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton as well as David Mamet and Sidney Pollack.

    The Meisner Technique gets you out of your head and into the moment. At Actors Bridge, we take students through a step-by-step approach to the Meisner Technique giving them a strong foundation in being an emotionally available, truthfully responsive actor.

    Whether you are an actor interested in deepening your craft or someone looking for greater confidence, spontaneity and intuition in your everyday life, the Meisner Technique can help you on your journey.

    Some guiding principles of the Meisner Technique include:

    * Acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
    * The foundation of acting is the reality of doing.
    * There's no such thing as nothing.
    * Acting is about instincts and intuition not intellect (heart not head).
    * Active awareness frees actors from selfconsciousness on stage.
