“Don't be an actor. Be a human being who works off what exists under imaginary circumstances.”

Sanford Meisner

Modern audiences are accustomed to eavesdropping on the lives of the characters they see on screen. Meisner is more than just acting -- it’s about truthful human behavior under imaginary circumstances. Are you ready to create eavesdrop-worthy scenes?

Sanford Meisner cultivated one of the best-known approaches to acting. Meisner Technique is a collective series of training exercises, each building on the last.  Actors work to:

  • Focus on their partners instead of themselves, letting go of self-consciousness. 
  • Be attuned to what is happening in the here and now.
  • Improvise freely as the character existing in this moment.
  • Bring the spontaneity of your instinctive personal response to the text.

You can study with T. Schreiber Studio in-person or online from anywhere in the world.
