The structured Meisner classes are the backbone of what we do. These classes are designed to be taken in sequence. At each level, on-camera, improvisational, and business skills will be interwoven into the curriculum.

If you’re serious about transforming your acting, this is the place to start. For professional actors in film and television, it’s no secret that Meisner work is their superpower in both their life and their career. The benefits include a greater sense of truth, emotional depth, and flexibility in your work.

Beginners and experienced students are welcome. Outside practice is required. Students will work individually at their own level and will grow at their own rate. These interactive meetings will take place LIVE on ZOOM.

The classes will meet 7:00 PM-9:30 PM PST. If a makeup or extra class is needed it will be held the following week. If you have to miss a class you are welcome to request a recording.

In Between The Lines. Anatomy of a Scene with LA Based Bonnie Root!


SEATTLE/TACOMA
December 3rd and 4th.
IN BETWEEN THE LINES. An Anatomy of a Scene with LA-Based Bonnie Root!
In this two-day workshop, you will break down, step by step, one scene, over the course of the two days. You will receive personalized and meaningful coaching throughout, culminating in a final taping and feedback.
We will focus and ask questions together to reveal the layers of history, point of view, relationship, emotion, obstacles, environment, tone, pacing, and more, that the writer has provided on the page.
Then we will get you on your feet to alchemize all of these details into an emotionally authentic, grounded, and personalized performance. The goal is to have you walk away with a process of discovery that boosts your consistency and confidence in your craft!
Instructor: Bonnie Root https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0740505/
December 3rd and 4th
SAT 10am-6pm
SUN 11am-5pm
Early Bird Special before NOV 14th.
Only $285 per person for both days!!!
After Nov 14th. $325
Option for one day at $185
NOTE: If you only come Saturday you will not participate in the final taping on Sunday, but you will have the option to tape yourself at home and send it to me for a final analysis via email.
If you only come on Sunday you can do the homework on Saturday on your own. I can send it to you in an email packet one week prior to the workshop and you can come Sunday for the final coaching and taping.
Obviously, this workshop is structured in a way that the most benefit will come from attending both days!
We will also be doing some physical, emotional, and mental warm-ups on Saturday morning via ZOOM with LA-based award-winning vocal coach APRIL HENRY and somatic coach/healer Keirin Browne
