Welcome to the empowering two evening Meisner Technique workshop, where you will open to and activate your most important skills for both acting as well as relating with others: listening, truthful presence and connection to your feelings and impulses.
This workshop helps you to access and express your truthful feelings based on your partner's behaviour, through exploration of the famous Actors' 'Repetition Exercise'. The workshop suits beginners and all levels of Meisner students, actor students and professional actors, as well as anyone wanting to learn to connect better with their authentic self, their truthful emotional impulses and others.
For more advanced practitioners we will move towards 'advanced repetition', emotional preparation and working with text if they feel called to it.
Wednesday 16:00 - 21:00
Thursday 16:00 - 21:00
About The Event
Ever since early childhood and throughout our lives we've learnt to close ourselves from our natural impulses, senses and emotions. But closing ourselves off like this without the choice to be free, creates a lot of blockages both in your acting as well as in your personal relationships.
This workshop is held in a very safe space and you do not need any previous experience to participate. The workshop will support you to connect with your truer self, and softly open you to your your authentic emotional life, its natural flow and empowering spectrum—through Meisner technique alongside with other warm-ups and exercises. In a variety of group and partner exercises we will re-learn to express ourselves with freedom and flow, to listen to another and to be fully present.
The capacity for emotional intelligence and presence is a highly valued skill in todays world, not only in acting platforms but in any types of relationships and interactions, whether in business or personal.

"The experience was fenomenal. It was true and unique existing in a special moment and people. The workshop was very beneficial for me because I got a chance to connect again with my inner soul. I truly cherish this experience and am very thankful for it. Nita was absolutely fantastic. A true soul and an artist with genuine desire to share, help and guide with love and compassion.
