Meisner Summer Intensive Interview - https://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com/meisner-acting/miller-kiesz-interview/ Miller Kiesz Interview - Maggie Flanigan Studio (917) 789-1599 The Meisner Summer Acting Intensive is a six week training program for actors who are interested in learning more about the Meisner Technique. In this interview with Logan Miller Kiesz talks about what it has been like training at the studio after already having professional acting roles. Q: What made you decide to take the Summer Intensive? A: Because I didn't go to a college program, it's been up to me to learn how to act independently. I realized that I didn't have the American classical techniques of acting down, I don't know Method, Meisner, I didn't know any of that. So it was my goal this summer. I wanted to buckle down. I have yet to line up anything this summer. I want to meet new people, start at a new conservatory or studio, and learn a technique. I applied to three or four other conservatories. Then, by a friend that goes to NYU, I was recommended this as a top pick just from the success that the teachers at NYU have experienced, the students at NYU have experienced, and the feedback. If you hear about a studio more than once, you should go to it. So I listened to my gut and friends, and I'm thrilled with my choice to come here. Q: Great. Before starting, did you know what the training would look like? A: I can't say I had an exact expectation. I came in as fresh as possible about it. Mainly because having the interview with Charlie, it was nice to see him meet him, but I wanted to know how he worked. So I wouldn't say I like putting expectations on people. I wanted to come as fresh as possible, which I'm glad I did because a big part of this training, especially with the intensive, is we're starting fresh. So come in; I don't care about your acting experience because we're going on a new journey together. Q: What was the most challenging part for you? A: The most challenging part is unlearning everything that we've learned thus far. When you're not in a group of people continuously training with each other, it's straightforward to avoid getting into the nitty-gritty of what's going on and the expectation of diving into that whole experience. It was just understanding how our activities will work and what coming to life means because we all have these preexisting expectations, especially with prior training on the end goal. Here we were, coming in and just diving into that together. Let go of our expectations and just live and be with each other. New experiences formed all of us, especially those with prior experience, but it was ultimately refreshing. Q: What would you say surprised you the most? A: I am an extremely spiritual person. In all my training thus far, we have worked intuitively in our bodies. However, it has never been as head on the nail as here. Every time I walk into Charlie's class, Faye's class, or Midori's class, I have an authentic experience, and it's because I genuinely feel seen especially voice. I like the voice program here, how all the types line up, and how perfectly going from acting to worrying about defending myself. Then walking into movement, we're working on the root chakra, and then we get to voice, and we're like, "Okay, we're working on the root chakra. What's this weird feeling in my stomach, and what's it connected to?" Everything aligned so perfectly; it allowed me to have the experience and knock down the walls I've built up and be made aware of them, which is also new. So I think it's incredible how perfectly lined up this program is.
