Meisner said, ‘acting is not emoting,’ but it is an emotional art form. So how do we deepen our emotional life without becoming self-conscious actors? And how do we meet the emotional demands of a script without faking anything? In Level 3: Emotional Preparation, you’ll understand what it’s like to purposefully work yourself up emotionally to prepare for the first moment of a high stakes scene.
While we can’t control our emotions, Level 3 gives you tools to discover truthful, authentic emotion and understand how to consistently tap into feelings across the emotional spectrum in performance. These explorations include a guided series of exercises specifically designed to deepen and set your emotional life free in your work.
In the last three sessions of Level 3: Emotional Preparation, you’ll then experiment with what it’s like to bring your new emotional preparation skills to scene work.
Level 1: Living Truthfully and Level 2: Under Imaginary Circumstances are required prerequisites for all students.
