Meisner Technique

The Meisner Technique is an acting method focused on fostering authentic, spontaneous reactions. It encourages actors to genuinely listen and respond to their scene partners, rather than relying on predetermined lines or emotions. Through exercises like repetition—where actors repeat phrases to each other—performers develop heightened awareness and emotional truth. The goal is to create natural, real-time interactions that feel honest and compelling, helping actors connect deeply with their characters and scenes without overacting or artificial delivery.
