"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, 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."


Skye’s practise focusses on two main goals: for her students to gain huge amounts of confidence and independence within Meisner’s work and crucially, to gain a full understanding of how and where you can apply it.


In this 2 day intensive 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 course, where you will learn through practising and honing these exercises.

This intensive is over two days, Saturday the 18th of May and Sunday the 19th of May from 10AM-5PM. The course is limited to 14 participants so each person will receive a huge amount of 1-2-1 attention and have a chance to try every exercise to it's fullest.


THIS EVENT PAGE IS FOR DAY 1/2. You can attend both days for a discounted price or attend one of the days separately.


ON DAY ONE OF THE TWO DAY INTENSIVE...

  • The morning session will focus on the core fundamentals of Meisner's repetition exercise; establishing the basics and making sure participants are aware of how the technique breaks down and what our learning objectives are from the start. We will cover exercises such as 'three moments' and the different stages of long form repetition.
  • In the afternoon session we will take this work further, applying it to actor prep and adding a 'want' into the scene. We will cover exercises that start to get the imagination more involved, bringing in character and more complex scenarios for the repetition exercise to exist within.


In each session there will be couple of short breaks and a 1 hour lunch break between sessions from1PM-2PM


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 cares deeply about creating a safe and encouraging environment for her students and is confident this course will be a fun and playful exploration of Meisner technique where mistakes and questions of any kind, at any time, are welcome!

Skye currently teaches at LAMDA, RADA, Arts Ed and various other top drama schools and training programs.

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!
