  • More Than Repetition: Meisner and BA Performance Training
    Theatre/Practice: The Online Journal of the Practice/Production Symposium of the Mid America Theatre Conference Volume 6, 2017 More Than Repetition: Meisner and BA Performance Training By Dennis Schebetta Introduction The Meisner technique has been taught successfully as a concentrated two-year sequence in private studios and MFA programs across the country. But is Meisner an “all-or- nothing” approach, or is “a little Meisner” better than none at all? As Head of MFA Performance Pedagogy and Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, I began to revise the undergraduate BA acting curriculum in 2014. The curriculum was primarily a Stanislavski-based training with some integration of Uta Hagen. More advanced acting classes examined heightened language and played with “styles,” using textbooks that seemed outdated. As there had been transitions in the faculty of the performance area of the department, many instructors taught from different methods; therefore, there existed an inconsistency of concepts and terminology throughout our courses. My primary goal in revising the curriculum was to give students a solid foundation of skills and maintain consistency throughout their educational journey. As my background was training in Meisner as well as other physical techniques, I searched for ways of incorporating multiple techniques in order to give students multiple entries into their craft. While doing so, I had several questions about integrating Meisner’s exercises with other techniques. Is it beneficial to use only his Word Repetition

  • Acting Methods Classical Acting / Stanislavsky System
    ACTING METHODS CLASSICAL ACTING / STANISLAVSKY SYSTEM Considered by many to be the father of what’s known today as “method acting,” the Stanislavski system was founded by Konstantin Stanislavski and is based on the idea of the “art of experiencing.” The intent is to ignite an actor’s conscious thought to affect their less conscious expression in their performance, as far as emotion and subconscious behaviors. One of the world’s most frequently taught acting techniques, Stanislavski inspired scores of future teachers including Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, and Lee Strasberg. Think emotional memory recall, spiritual realism, and self-analysis. METHOD ACTING: STRASBERG Lee Strasberg extrapolated upon Stanislavski’s technique to create “The Method” but focused on the psychological aspects. The approach is for actors to evoke their own applicable experiences in order to bring them closer to those of their character, which Strasberg called “emotion memory.” Lee Strasberg’s actors intensify their connections to the work by mimicking characters’ experiences within the context of their own (real) lives, and reaching deeper connections and understandings of their characters’ emotional worlds. METHOD ACTING: STELLA ADLER Stella Adler also worked with and expanded upon Stanislavski’s method, though she stringently opposed the idea of drudging up past experiences for the sake of acting, deeming it unhealthy. Rather, she created a system that revolves around the development of independent actors, the power of the imagination, the importance of action, script interpretation, and the cultivation of a rich humanity. Stella Adler’s approach is also built on that of Stanislavski, but imagination is emphasized over emotional recall; in her words, “You have to get beyond your own precious inner experiences.” METHOD ACTING: MEISNER Developed by Sanford Meisner, the Meisner technique, too, builds on Stanislavski.
