They are moving away from that. We have two movement classes. One consists of basic dance moves combined with pilates work. It is a definite workout. The other is with Felix Ivanov. Felix Ivanov is Russian and trained at the Vaktangov School in Moscow. Felix's approach deals with balance, flexibility, tempo, rhythm, spontaneity, the physical expression of character response to issues of conflict. It has been great to be able to fully immerse myself in the program. It has been a roll coaster so far, but I am truly learning what is means for my body to be an instrument. Let me know how things are going on your end... They did Williams Technique in the past. They are moving away from that. We have two movement classes.

Are you doing any Williamson Technique and/or Laban? That's what they teach here at Esper. I'm about to finish my first week, as well. So far, so good. I'm jealous that you get to completely immerse yourself into acting and not have to worry about much else, but we all have our own path. Good luck with everything, and be sure to keep us posted! :) Hey Dennis,

The truth lies under the text, not the text itself. With that said, text is very important. The goal is to live truthly under imaginary circumstances. The imaginary circumstances of the script, set, and blocking does not change from performance to performance.

I'm not an actor so the Meisner thing is pretty new to me. I've written a few church skits though where we're usually tyring to set up or convey some point/message. How important to the Meisner school deal is keeping true to the written line? That’s really interesting. I’m not an actor so the Meisner thing is pretty new to me.
