Meisner in Practice

A step-by-step introduction to the key features of the Meisner Technique, including a full set of practical exercises.
The Meisner Technique is at the forefront of actor training today: with its radical simplicity it has the power to reconnect actors with their bodies and emotions.
Developed by the teacher and actor Sanford Meisner, the technique places emphasis on truthful interaction between actors. The aim is for the actor 'to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances' — to remain truly 'in the moment'.
In Meisner in Practice, Nick Moseley offers actors a step-by-step introduction to the salient features of the technique, and puts these to the test through a succession of increasingly challenging practical exercises. He also addresses certain pitfalls and problems that he has encountered over many years of teaching Meisner in drama schools.
This book will be of immense value to students, teachers and practitioners in exploring a technique that is becoming increasingly recognised as a core element of actor training.

    Once you have started to ‘include’ everything that happens within your observational scope, you become a more honest actor, because you stop trying to deal with two different realities simultaneously.

    Meisner Technique is based on the concept of ‘the reality of doing’. You do not pretend to do something – you real

    Working in pairs, sitting on the chairs exactly as before, you comment on your partner exactly as in Simple Repetition. The difference, in this version, is that each of you is now free to change the comment if and when you see your partner doing something significant. For example:
    A1 You have dark hair.
    A2 I have dark hair.
    A1 You have dark hair.
    A2 I have dark hair.
    A1 You touched your hair.
    A2 I touched my hair.
    A1 You touched your hair.
    A2 You sat forward.
    A1 I sat forward.
    Each comment is repeated continuously, as in Simple Repetition, until something happens to change it. You will also notice that all comments relating to physical actions are made in the past tense, so that they never stop being true. At this stage, the comments all have to be physical, factual and irrefutable.
    You must repeat every comment made about you at least once and preferably more than once. You should not look for things to comment on in your partner just in order to escape repeating. The comment should only change when one of you notices the other doing something very definite.
    However, you should also make sure that you notice and comment on significant things
