Meisner Summer Acting Program - https://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com Summer Intensive Acting Program - Call Maggie Flanigan Studio (917) 789-1599 The Meisner Summer Intensive at Maggie Flanigan studio introduces actors with all levels of acting experience to the Meisner Technique in a safe and trusting environment. In this interview Christine Nyland talks about her first real experience training with the Meisner Technique. "I think the six-week summer intensive has given me a glimpse into the possibility of being the actor I've always wanted to be. I see a capacity in myself that I didn't think I had before." Q: What made you take this leap of faith to do the summer intensive? A: I'm a filmmaker, and I've been generating projects to work on for the past few years. I feel like last summer, I really reached a point where I could just tell where the gaps in my training was. I could tell the things that I had and I could tell the things that I didn't have, and it just felt really clear that if I wanted to continue doing this work, I needed to take responsibility for those things. Q: How did that awareness lead you to Maggie Flanigan Studio? A: Well, so since I moved to New York, I've met a number of people who would just be fantastic actors, and almost all of them, when I asked them where they trained, said here. It was always a really easy decision in my mind that if I was going to do further training, this would be the first place I would look. Q: What would you say has been the most surprising thing of the last six weeks? A: I feel like in class, Charlie tells me to stand up for myself a lot, and that's not something I've ever thought of myself as being bad at doing. I feel like at first, when it started coming up, I was like, "That's so strange." Then the deeper we've gotten into class, the more I'm like, "Oh, no, I really do need to do that more." Q: Is it scary for you? A: Standing up for myself? Yes. I think, sometimes, I experience it as just an option that doesn't feel present oftentimes. Maybe that is the fear. The fear keeps it so buried that it doesn't even feel like something I consider. Q: Interesting. Would you say that the six-week summer intensive has made you a better actor? A: Yes, I would. Q: In what ways? A: I think the six-week summer intensive has given me a glimpse into the possibility of being the actor I've always wanted to be. I don't think like I own it, but I feel like I see a capacity in myself that I didn't think I had before. Because I feel like sometimes, you'll watch actors whose work just feels like lightning in a bottle. I think I always just thought like, "That's not me though." I work differently. It's never going to feel that dangerous or that alive. Learn more about Meisner Training and the Maggie Flanigan Studio by visiting the website for the studio.
