In his long career, he taught several generations of actors this technique, including many Oscar, Tony, and Emmy winners. His many acclaimed acolytes have applied it to countless roles.  Students will explore Meisner’s Foundation Exercises and learn Key Concepts that benefit actors of all experience levels.
