Repetition is the key to Sanford Meisner’s work. It’s what separates it from all other techniques. It requires nothing but your attention.

This class is built on Meisner’s repetition exercise.

Repetition is about learning. Learning to trust your instincts. Learning to be direct. Learning to be emotionally available.

The class will force you to express your honest feeling or opinion without hesitation. It will completely personalise your work because you will respond in a way entirely unique to you— instinctually and uncompromised.

Repetition is the proof that language is algebraic, that words don’t matter. The only thing that matters is what you’re trying to do with those words. If an ounce of behaviour is worth a pound of words, then let’s get rid of the words.

Through the repetition, you are reduced in your language and forced to make demands through your behaviour. You will be required to have an opinion about the circumstances you are in and the people you are responding to.

Acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances. It is about responding to your environment and letting it affect you in a way that is truthful to you. There are no tactics, no character, no “in your head”. It’s just you, living truthfully, moment to moment.
