Sanford Meisner was co-founder of the Group Theatre which took
Stanislavsky's original theories and principles and introduced "Method"
acting to America.  
Meisner's own philosophy is based on the creation of real and truthful
behaviour under imaginary circumstances.  
The work focuses on helping students get out of their heads and back
into trusting their gut instincts.

John Riven is a graduate of the Neighbourhood Playhouse where he studied
under Sanford Meisner and Richard Pinter.  
He is a founding member of the Shadowfax Theatre Company, which produced
original plays in NYC during the 80s.  
John has been teaching the Meisner Technique in Toronto and New York for
over 8 years.
