SRS-Portland Presents:
Using Method AND Meisner On Camera
Taught by professional on-set acting coach,
Scott Rogers.
Method Acting and the Meisner Technique. Two acting techniques that are known to be polar opposites. Honestly, they couldn’t be MORE different from each other. And yet, they are both derived from the Stanislavski system of acting. Neither technique was designed specifically for acting on camera BUT some of the tools from each technique are among the most powerful – and most often used in movies and on television today. There’s a reason why so many successful actors still use these tools every day, on sets around the world… They WORK!
This class will teach you to use some of the specific tools of both Method Acting and the Meisner Technique, in your work on camera, to help you really FEEL the required emotion – inside your body – reliably, take after take, and without depending on other actors. We’ll use Lecture, Q&A, and exercises during this course.
And here’s the best part!
Due to the current lack of film and television work around the country, we’re offering this one-night workshop for only $45! That’s LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE of our previous one-night classes! You probably spend more on dinner! We expect this to fill up fast, so reserve your spot NOW!
