Now available for the first time, this eight hour master class DVD offers direct instruction from one of the most influential acting teachers of the 20th century. Edited under the supervision of the Sanford Meisner Estate, this archival footage is the only video record of Sanford himself teaching students. The name Sanford Meisner has become iconic in the world of Acting. He co-founded the Group Theater in 1931 with Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg in an effort to bring the teachings of Stanislavski to America. Not long after the group was founded, Meisner questioned the effectiveness of the ‘Method’ acting approach and branched off to develop a healthier approach to acting. Known as ‘theater’s best kept secret” Sandy’s work has left actors with a simple, fun, and healthy way to explore the depths of the dramatic arts.
