Meisner Technique Acting Course: spring 2025

Exeter Meisner Workshop

The Meisner Technique is a simple yet powerful acting system which enables

the actor to live truthfully, under given (imaginary) dramatic circumstances.

Through a series of practical exercises the actor discovers how to connect

with scene partners and respond impulsively, moment by moment, to create truthful performance.

This Course of half day sessions will cover all the Meisner exercises and give practical experience in applying the system to scripted work.

Our workshops take place at Cygnet Theatre and are aimed at professional

or aspiring professional actors, as well as those with acting experience who

wish to explore this technique.

Dates for Spring

January 26th, February 9th & 23rd,
March 16th, 23rd & 30th.

Sundays 1pm - 4pm.

Cost £90 for this course.
