The Meisner Technique is an acting method developed by Sanford Meisner that emphasizes emotional truth and spontaneity. It focuses on the actor's ability to respond authentically to their scene partner, fostering genuine interactions. The technique often involves repetitive exercises that help actors become more present and connected in their performances. Central to the Meisner Technique is the idea of "living truthfully under imaginary circumstances." Actors learn to trust their instincts and react naturally, rather than relying on preconceived notions or scripted lines. This approach aims to create a more organic and believable performance, enhancing the overall impact of the storytelling.
