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
truthful behaviour under imaginary circumstances.  The work focuses on
helping students get out of their heads and back to trusting their gut
instincts.
