The elusive qualities of the Meisner techniques are that they are in search for engagement and communication, the lifeblood of acting. This session will be a safe space for participants to confront their ability to observe and attend to another actor. While some Meisner repetition exercises will be familiar, only the essence of attention will be the focus as they will be designed for your experience in the moment.
