My Meisner Work

I have made many profound insights throughout my Meisner work. I now know the importance of listening and reacting, and using the impulsive side of my brain. Oftentimes we as humans are instinctual creatures; reacting without thinking. As actors we must find a way to break free from our logical, "theatre brain," and let things come naturally. Through exploration of Meisner's work, I have noticed a significant difference in how I react to the world around me. Even in my everyday life I find myself speaking more from my gut, letting my words be spoken truthfully, and tersely.
Now that we are stepping out of exercizes and have begun dealing with full scenes, it will be nice to incoorperate everything I have learned into a piece of text. I will use what I have learned in Meisner to react truthfully, and use mental preperation to put myself in any sort of situation. I know now the importance of focussing on my partner and listening, and I will let practice cultivating my full attention and focus while working in my scene. I can't wait to start rehearsing, and to incoorperate everything I have learned!!
