Through a series of Meisner exercises, actors will strengthen their ability to get out of their heads, connect more deeply to their scene partner, and allow the story to unfold through authentic behavior and response. Each pair will be assigned a different scripted scene to develop throughout the three weeks, culminating in a filmed performance of the scene.
