Level 1: Living Truthfully begins with our exploration of legendary acting teacher Sanford Meisner’s definition of acting which states, “Acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” By exploring what it means to “live truthfully” through Meisner’s innovative, improvisational repetition exercises you’ll:

• Identify the differences between self consciousness and presence

• Practice being more responsive, spontaneous, emotionally alive, and grounded in the moment

• Understand what it feels like to get out of your head and follow your ‘gut’ impulses

This class is ideal for:

• Adults ages 18+ interested in developing their skills in a fun, welcoming environment

• Actors who want to develop a reliable, solid technique to act on stage and for the camera

• Students who want to study a technique rooted in courage, empathy, and vulnerability
