Professional Courses and Workshops

Meisner Technique Acting Course:  spring 2025

EMW 2
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.
