1. MEISNER TECHNIQUE - VANCOUVER
--------------------------------------------------- 
 
In January, Russell Bennett and Gillian Stevens-Guille are teaching The
Meisner Workshop, 12 3-hour classes at an Intro Level to bring legendary
acting guru Sanford Meisner's technique to Vancouver.  
 
Russell and Gillian will teach you how to act truthfully using the first
step of Meisner's technique, the Repetition Exercise, as currently
taught at New York's acting conservatory, the Neighbourhood Playhouse.

  
Meinser believed that the foundation of acting is "the reality of
doing".  In this workshop you will learn what that means and how to do
it, not by listening to theories, but by actually doing it.  The Meisner
Workshop provides you with a safe environment in which to take risks.
You will learn to act before you think. You will leave the workshop
invigorated and inspired with a dynamic new approach to acting.
 
Gillian and Russell are both graduates of the Neighbourhood Playhouse.
They have been teaching the Meisner Workshop in Vancouver since last
November and are the co-creators of the award-winning play "The Reefer
Man".
 
The Meisner Workshop, Intro Level, will run for 12 nights on Thursdays
and Sundays, 7-10 pm starting on January 6, 2005.  
The cost is $240 (plus GST = $256.80) for Equity members and $300 (plus
GST = $321) for non-Equity, plus GST.  
A deposit of $100 is required, payable by December 24.   The balance
will be due on the first day of classes.  
The classes will take place at "The Studio on the Drive", 2910
Commercial Drive, 2nd floor, at 13th Avenue, 4 blocks south of the
Broadway Skytrain Station.
