Answer»

The Meisner Technique is one of the most popular approaches to acting. Learn how to unleash truthful, emotional performances; let go of self-consciousness; expand acting range; build self-awareness; develop the ability to act moment to moment. 

Improvisation: Improvisation simulates a scene-like situation. It is a key stage in the Meisner Technique; teaching how to defeat self-consciousness when alone on stage, how to prepare before your entrance.

Relationships: This teaches how to add complexities and layers to the improvisation. The Actor will learn the nuances and subtleties available to him/her that moment with his/her partner, and how to set up an improvisation himself.

Text Analysis: An actor will also learn how to convert text, seemingly complex and full of options, into readings and performances that are strong, emotionally true and dynamic. 

Character: After text-analysis, the actor will apply improvisation skills to find hidden depth to the character’s monologue and his/her dialogues which will enable him/her to play them truthfully and deeply.

Scene Work: Scene work enables the combination of all the skills taught in different ways. The Actor will learn how to play a scene with his partner, rich in emotional colour and full of instinctive choices.
