Greetings from JP!
In this new year of 2024, we are starting a monthly newsletter. Through this newsletter, we’ll bring to you curated short articles and recommendations from JP members.
Since we still have slots left in our upcoming The Meisner Acting Intensive workshop, we’d like to share with you about what the class might be like.
We interviewed D and K, two students from our Meisner Core Program last year which was also taught by Alecx Lorica:
1. What was the Meisner class like? Did you enjoy it?
D: It was pretty methodical yet liberating. I enjoyed it.
K: The Meisner class that I did with Jakarta Players was a really great dive into the famous Meisner technique. I enjoyed it very much and had a lot of fun.
2. What did you learn from the class? What are some things that help you with your acting?
D: I learned that opening one's self fully and just accepting the made up situations wholeheartedly when acting can definitely elicit great performances when acting. Learning how to break down these emotional roadblocks or apprehensions definitely helped with freeing one's self when acting.
K: I learned a lot about myself through the process of following my impulses as naturally and as freely as possible. I realized that there was a lot of internal work to be done so that I can be more present and truthful when I am acting. And I also realized that working off of your acting partner is so important! Being truly affected by one another and using our imaginations specifically and meaningfully helped me come up with so many more interesting choices that I would never have thought possible.
3. Who would you recommend the Meisner class to?
D: I would recommend any actor to try learning Meisner. At the very least they could augment some Meisner skills to their own way of working.
K. I would recommend this Meisner workshop/class to any actor, beginner or advanced. A lot of the basics of Western-style acting is so much easier to understand when you get on your feet and try out Meisner's exercises. They are such helpful tools in improving your acting instincts. And it really helps that Alecx and Dan are so good at making sure that all their students feel absolutely safe in their sessions!
If you would like to learn Meisner yourself, join our upcoming intensive program! If you’d like to learn more, feel free to read the program details here.
