Meisner said, 'Acting is the ability to live truthfully under given imaginary circumstances.' There are many acting techniques, and the ones that are valid will help you arrive at the one ultimate truth, your truth.The work we will do together will lead you to acting with a deep personal meaning, a wonderful simplicity and to a level of working where technique disappears and what remains, is you in your acting.I can't wait for you to discover this work!"__________________________________________________________________ STEVEN DITMYER is an internationally renowned director and acting coach from New York City.
