The Meisner
Weekend Intensives: Level One & Two Winter 2018 Instructor: J Chachula 
|
"I just wanted to thank you again for letting me be a part of such a fantastic workshop. I feel like I made some great personal growth in the two days I got to work with you. Your class is awesome. You have a fantastic, nurturing, incredibly effective approach in teaching the Meisner technique that creates an safe and comfortable environment where everyone from the beginner to the more experienced student can feel free to take big swings, and really go for it. I can't wait to check out the improv classes. I look forward to working with you again, and I've recommended you to all of my friends back at school." |
The information below reflects the Level One workshop we have offered in recent years, a workshop we will be building upon. More information on this exciting program still to come!
The Flying Machine Studio offers a unique weekend acting workshop (12 hours over two days) designed to give students both a solid introduction to The Meisner Approach as well as real acting tools they can use now. Anyone who hungers to bring more truth and power to their performances, regardless of their experience level, will find this work highly valuable.
We will begin with Meisner's famous Repetition Exercise, a unique game designed to leave you present, open, and responsive to your partner. From there you will explore your own unique point of view through improvisational exercises based on personal meaning. You will dig deep into your imaginations and discover what it means to tap into your emotional life and use it to make a role your own!
There is no text work in this workshop, and nothing to memorize. There will be some “homework” to do, however, to help all of us get the most out of the weekend.
The weekend will likely challenge you as few acting classes have, and if you’re willing to give the work your fullest attention, you’ll begin to develop the skills that bring intensely human performances to the stage or screen.
SCHEDULE:
Saturday: 10 AM-4:30 PM (with one half-hour for lunch)
Sunday: 10 AM-4:30 PM (with two 15-min. breaks)
NOTE ON COST: This Winter's schedule is the first time we've offered both workshops on back-to-back weekends, and we are considering other changes to heighten the experience. There will be several options for students and at this point pricing has not yet been determined.
Full payment is due BEFORE the first day of the Intensive in order to hold your place in class, since space is limited to 12 students. Cancellations within a week of the Intensive will result in a $25 fee.
LOCATION:
Classes will be held at Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh.
