About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

"I am so glad I was finally able to make it along to this class. I am so glad I did. It is one of the best, most dynamic, and safe and supported Meisner rooms I have ever been in. Skye runs things with such warmth and generosity. It's wonderful to see and be a part of."

" I really came out of my comfort zone and you made the space so safe (I find the term ‘safe space’ so pretentious but it actually rang true for once) and relaxed and it felt like I could truly experiment and play."

"Be ready to completely lose control and challenge yourself and your partner, but don’t worry with Skye’s guidance you’re completely safe. You’ll get to work with different partners and explore slightly different ways to approach Meisner. I especially liked applying it to a written text and seeing how it came alive."

Skye’s practice focuses on two main aims: for her students to gain huge confidence and independence in Meisner’s work and crucially, a full understanding of how and where to apply it.

In this class you will be going through all of the core elements of Meisner’s repetition exercise; from breaking down how it works, to why actors use it and how to apply this technique to scenes, monologues and personal character prep work, so you feel confident to go into the industry and make the most out of this introduction.

This is a purely practical class, where you will learn through practising and honing these exercises.

Meisner’s work is like a gym for an actor, it helps you to flex all of your acting muscles so that you are raring to go when jumping into a scene/monologue.

Skye currently teaches at LAMDA, RADA, Arts Ed and various other top drama schools and training programs. Skye is also on the BA, MFA and Foundation course audition panels at LAMDA.

Meisner’s work is like a gym for an actor, it helps you to flex all of your acting muscles so that you are raring to go when jumping into a scene/monologue.

The classes will be structured around one main goal, whether it be finding your confidence with emotional observation, understanding the 3 moments exercise or applying repetition to text and character, every session will aim for you to feel satisfied, having conquered the basics, ready to try the more advanced exercises.

There may be a small scene or monologue to prep prior to certain classes but lots of time will be given to do this prior to the sessions.

All actors are welcome, no prior Meiser experience necessary!
