This Acting Intensive is designed to demystify the nature of taking a role from the page to the stage or screen. Why are we taught to act “perfectly” when what makes a great performance is when we allow ourselves to be fully expressed as our beautiful, weird, messy selves. Learn to win back your power, do it as you, stop second-guessing everything you are doing and give a performance you are excited about. 

 

TO WHOM THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR?

For actors, directors, writers and artist - and other creatives alike, and to anyone wanting to enhance their capacity to be present, understand their emotional life and authentic human connection deeper.

TESTIMONIALS

“For my first acting classes, I was, like, ‘What the f– am I doing here? This is so scary.’ But my acting coach, Anthony Meindl, taught me it’s all about the act of surrender and ‘the art of listening,’ as opposed to being in your head. That’s the only technique he has for acting, as simple as it is.” – VARIETY Magazine, Camilla Cabello, Grammy Nominee

 

“I think Tony is absolutely incredible and coming to class for me isn’t just about letting loose and growing my ability as an actor but more sometimes to really open up myself to the universe and just be. Sometimes I find him saying things that I mentally live by and its so refreshing to constantly hear them being affirmed. Thank you so much for every week re-instilling that positivity and creativity and openness within. You allow me as an actor to forget about the character and remember about Shailene, which makes every movement, moment and word so authentic and true. I’m so grateful to have you as a mentor.” – Shailene Woodley, 2-Time Golden Globe Nominee & Emmy Nominee

 

“Anthony has such a talent at helping the actor accept and stay with the moment. The moment to moment aliveness where all the magic can be found. His process saved me from overthinking, and to just embrace myself as an artist in the process of creation. Also he’s hilarious and reminds you that acting can and should be a joy!” – Daryl McCormack, BAFTA Nominee for ``Good Luck to You, Leo Grande`` on Hulu
