This class is for actors who have begun to establish reliable technique and amass a serious résumé. We will continue to hone technique through exercises and we will concern ourselves with the power of rhythm, of silence, of synchronicity, and the random wellsprings that open when the actor is 100% present in the moment. You will receive a link to register for this class upon acceptance of your application.

An intensive course of study for both the pre- professional and professional actor, meeting 3 days a week over 6 weeks. This powerful work relaxes the actor into the truth of themselves and removes impediments to an actor's effective use of their instrument. It explores improvisational exercises and scene work to improve concentration and responsiveness culminating in a scripted scene. The Meisner 6 week Intensive has launched the careers of artists such as Robert DuVall, Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Rockwell, and Anthony Hopkins.

Jessica Hecht leads this special 2-session scene and script analysis workshop. This workshop is for professional performers who desire to return to, or maintain an ongoing relationship with a dynamic and fertile state of learning. The goal: to use the specifics of language, action, subtext, circumstance, and relationships in order to connect with the work at the deepest most personal level. You are encouraged to push boundaries with the aim of building ever more complex characters and situations, allowing and exploring what is powerfully, unexpectedly revealed. Note, this is not a performance oriented class, but rather a process oriented one.
