The most essential technique necessary for an actor is to unlearn the techniques acquired during socialization (i.e., compartmentalization, anticipation, intellectualizing) and recover the ability to be vulnerable and in the moment with another person. Hear D.W. Brown, one of the world’s foremost teachers of the Meisner Technique, discuss the obstacles and the remedy for how to once again be free to play.

This class is for actors, directors, writers and anyone interested in the essentials of human interaction; whether beginners or longtime professionals, these are the pure fundamentals.
