 Lori Triolo and Kate Twa team up to teach this playful, bold and inspiring class combining classical Meisner technique and Scene Study.
Meisner: 10am-1pm with Lori Triolo
Sanford Meisner developed this step by step procedure of self investigation during his work with The Group Theatre and The Neighborhood Playhouse. This technique is not for the faint of heart. We will be working from the most authentic you through a series of improvisational exercises including Repetition, Activities, and Relationships. Rooted in the "Reality of Doing" we will begin shedding the many layers of defense mechanisms and day to day behavior that society has dressed us with. Each student will begin to discard these societal misconceptions and emerge from the full program with an instrument that is grounded in true instincts.
Scene Study 2pm-6pm with Kate Twa
Classical training combined with original exercises combine for a rigorous and playful challenge to actors who want to be pushed past their own barriers of personal resistance. Focusing on the individual, yet supported by a formidable ensemble, this class is demanding, emotional and exhilarating.
**It is important to note that although age and experience are not a factor in accepting actors, this class explores extremely mature content and actors are required to conduct themselves with absolute professionalism and commitment.
**This class is currently full. If you wish to be considered courses and workshops beginning January 9th &10th please fill out the online application form and you will be contacted regarding an audition/interview.
Our new home is located at: The Generator: 245 Alexander Street, Vancouver, BC V6A 1C2.

"Truth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it but the
search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the
endeavour. The search is your task. More often than not you stumble
upon the truth in the dark, colliding with it or just glimpsing an
image or a shape which seems to correspond to the truth, often without
realising that you have done so. But the real truth is that there
never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art.
There are many. These truths challenge each other, recoil from each
other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are
blind to each other. Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment
in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost."
-- Harold Pinter (Nobel Prize lecture)
