Making the Most of Meisner
Iso Roobertinkatu 20-22 A, 00120 Helsinki
Do you find it difficult to find authenticity in your performances? Do you find emotions elusive? Do you spend a lot of time stuck in your head when all you really want is to be free? Do you suffer from self consciousness in your acting? Do you wish you could be more consistent in getting good results? These are common struggles for every actor, and The Meisner Technique addresses all of these questions.
In this workshop, Dominic Kelly will spend two days guiding students through elements of the Meisner Technique in order to give an overview of the approach. All participants will get a deep understanding of the Repetition Exercise, and elements will be added over the course of the sessions, so that the group can see how extra depth and meaning can be layered into the work. At the end of the course there will be practical applications to a simple text, so all participants will get an experience of working in a simple scene with complex results.
Dominic Kelly is a teacher, script developer, director, and a psychotherapist in training. He has worked with The Meisner Technique for 18 years, and is a leading coach in the field in the UK. He has taught internationally, and was trained by a direct student of Meisner.
"I have worked with many actors, writers and directors over the years, always engaged in the pursuit for truthfulness and authenticity. Great sensitivity is required to engage those emotional muscles, and also a safe trusting environment. I provide these, whilst also encouraging my clients to reach beyond their comfort zones. But it’s not all hard work. I promise, it does pay off once you’ve put in the time.” Dominic Kelly
“Acting is fun…Don’t let that get around!” Sanford Meisner
