the Meisner Technique

The Meisner Technique is an acting method that emphasizes genuine, spontaneous responses through repetitive exercises and active listening. It trains actors to focus on their partner’s behavior and reactions rather than their own scripts, fostering authentic interactions. By practicing these exercises, actors develop a heightened awareness of their emotional impulses and learn to trust their instincts, resulting in more truthful and compelling performances. The technique encourages being present in the moment, creating a deep connection with others on stage or screen, ultimately making the acting feel more natural and believable.
